South Jersey Gets A New CHR

[Slinky]

This station, located in Atlantic City, NJ, was formerly Rhythmic WZBZ "The Buzz". It's now CHR 99.3 Kiss-FM:

According to the ratings on Radio and Records WZBZ and WGBZ were a simulcast, but according to 100000watts there is no WGBZ. What's up with that?

[Slinky]

Ah, I can answer that one for you. 105.5 in Cape May Court House, NJ used to be WGBZ. On 12/25/07, they switched the call letters to WSNQ. That was right around the end of the Fall ratings period, so I guess R&R or Arbitron didn't bother updating the calls for the Fall ratings.

There was no format change. 105.5 in Cape May Court House still simulcasts Pleasantville/Atlantic City's 99.3 WZBZ. People on Radio-Info were speculating that 105.5 would break away from it's simulcast partner and debut a new format, but that hasn't happened yet.

Mediabase has moved them over to the CHR panel from CHR/Rhythmic this week.
