Audacy began the revamp of CHR “B96” WBBM-FM Chicago today as the station moved to a 50/50 gold to current/recurrent presentation with a Rhythmic lean.

With sweepers proclaiming “Chicago’s favorite radio station is back,” B96 is now positioning as “The music you’ve always loved and the best of what’s new”. The station has also returned to the logo it used throughout out much of the 2000s and 2010s.

The 10am hour of B96 featured:

TLC – Waterfalls
Glass Animals – Heat Waves
Nelly – E.I.
Doja Cat ft. Sza – Kiss Me More
Montell Jordan – This Is How We Do It
Beyonce – Crazy In Love
Metro Boomin ft. The Weeknd and 21 Savage – Creepin’
2Pac/Dr. Dre – California Love
Taylor Swift – Anti Hero
Steve Lacy – Bad Habit
Missy Elliot – Work It
T.I. ft. Rihanna – Live Your Life
Miguel – Sure Thing

WBBM-FM is currently tied for nineteenth in the Chicago market with a 1.9 share trailing iHeartMedia’s “103.5 Kiss-FM” WKSC and its 2.7.

The changes at B96 follow the departure of longtime programmer Todd Cavanah after 33 years at the station and the arrival of Molly Cruz to succeed him. There were expectations of this move taking place last month as part of larger changes at Audacy’s Chicago cluster that have so far not come to fruition.

Can I still call and dedicate because i love you by stevie b to my boyfriend in 7th grade?

I liked Z95 too, maybe a little better. I loved the top 40 countdown every week still catch the reruns randomly on Sirius. Fun little look back.

Playlist still looks too light on the Party Radio years, which is the same problem 104.3 created for itself. It's not classic B96 without Real McCoy.

Disagree, if we're going classic B-96/Z-95 era, we're missing such classics as Black Box Strike It Up and Timmy T One More Try. Real McCoy feels mid 90's and outside of B-96/Z-95 heyday.

B96 was huge in the 80s

Of course it was, but not because of the Real McCoy.

I guess I found your post confusing.

That said, Curious Hair would love for you to regale us with the history of Z-95. I remember it ending and turning into HELL for a few weeks, and I think the Hit Machine in the morning and Alan Kabel in the evenings.

Listen you son of a bitch, I was just saying Curious Hair seemed to be mentioning mid 90s stuff, when in fact B96/Z95 prime was late 80s/early 90s, i.e not Real McCoy. If you find that confusing I swear to God I have no problem meeting up at the Oasis of your choice.

I regret that the Booty Call Lyrics Project is offline and gone without a trace.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

That's like the slogan for The Spectrum on SiriusXM. "Rock music for those who appreciate where it's been, and a curiosity for where it's going".

Quoting you Thomas, but not really because apparently I quoted too many things to post, but -

Hahaha, in my world, "Another Night" was vintage Joe's (UIUC) circa 1994.

HOLD UP. In one of my posts, I started talking about exactly this (hearing the song at Joe's). I erased it and said something else, but still . . .

Will this by like JackFM where they yell at you that they are going to play their choice of music and not yours and you can't stop them and STFU and take it?

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

The Jason Goff approach to radio programming.

Love it! My best recollection of Joe's (besides the above) from 1994-1998 was taking over the mantle of American Pie/You Shook Me All Night Long. Whenever I hear American Pie these days, which is not all that often, I still sing to myself "Drinking beer with my fucked up friends". It's not a great mantle.

B96 lost me in grade school when they did "Smash or Trash" on Fight For Your Right to Party and it was voted trash.
