WZNE Makeover Includes Jubal, New Logo

• Stephens Media Group’s WZNE (94.1 The Zone)/Rochester, NY will become the first Alternative affiliate of The Jubal Show when the morning team debuts on December 1, along with a new logo, new website and new imaging voice.

“We’re excited about The Jubal Show coming to Rochester,” said Bob Thornton, SVP of Programming for Stephens Media Group. “Jubal, Alex and Evan will bring a unique, must-listen experience to Rochester mornings.” Host Jubal Fresh said, “I want to thank everyone at Stephens Media for also adding us in mornings to The Zone 94.1 Rochester, after also starting us this week in Spokane. We are particularly pumped to be added to their Alternative rock format in a city known for its vibrant music scene.”

Under the leadership of GM Mike Ninnie and OM Mike McCoy, The Zone has been undergoing a makeover in recent weeks with a music and on-air lineup change that included the naming of Kobe Fargo as the new PD and Josh Venable as MD. “We’re expanding the reach of The Zone to more people than ever in Rochester,” said Thornton. “Today’s Alternative music is vastly different than it was even 10 years ago, with a more diversified audience than ever before and we want to reflect those changes not only in our music but in our branding, with our talent and how we treat our audience.”
