Cumulus Launches Power 105.1/KC
• Cumulus Kansas City promised some news regarding the future of 107.3 KMJK (KC’s R&B and Hip Hop), and that question was just answered, as the format and personnel just relocated up to the far more powerful 105.1 frequency at KCJK (formerly Alternative 105.1 The X), and relaunching as Power 105.1.
Moments after the switch was thrown, Donna Baker, RVP/Market Manager, Cumulus Kansas City, said, “The opportunity to best serve the entire KC community with our dominant cluster of stations is now in place. This change combines the incredible reach of KCJK’s 100,000-watt signal with the biggest genre in modern popular music — Hip Hop and R&B. Congratulations to Operations Manager Jim Fox and Program Director Boogie D, along with our incredible lineup of beloved local personalities.”
PD Jowcol “Boogie D” Dolby, commented, “I’m very excited for Kansas City! Power 105.1 is designed to represent the culture of Hip Hop and R&B and this great Kansas City community. We are KCMO AND KCK. We are here for the community we serve, and we are here to win! Thank you to the Cumulus leadership team for making this dream a reality. KC, Let’s Go!”
Kenny Smoov, Cumulus VP of Urban Formats, added, “Our Kansas City team is excited to bring championship level Hip Hop and R&B content on-air, online, and in these KC streets. Let’s Power UP!!!”
Heritage local Kansas City personalities host each Power 105.1 daypart, starting with The Shay Moore Morning Show, weekdays from 5-10am, followed by Ivani Bing in middays, Boogie D from 3-7pm and Jess Live at Night from 7-midnight.
