Moving Day For KC’s Vibe
• Last week Cumulus Kansas City relocated the Hip Hop & R&B format and personalities from 107.3 KMJK over to 105.1 KCJK and relaunched the station as Power 105.1. Today, in a follow-up move, the company launched its popular “Vibe” brand on 107.3 KMJK as All The Hits 107.3 The Vibe, replacing KCHZ (95.7 The Vibe), a KC staple for 20 years.
Donna Baker, RVP/Market Manager, Cumulus Kansas City, said, “Adjusting the alignment of these beloved station brands delivers the highest potential audience to reach the entire KC community. The right stations, the right formats, on the right signals with the best local personalities creates even more value for our listeners and advertising partners.”
Along with the move, Tyler Frye moves up from middays to mornings, replacing the syndicated The Bert Show. Here is the new weekday lineup on 107.3 The Vibe — 6-10am: Tyler Frye; 10am-3pm: Cassiday Proctor (remotely from WEDG/Buffalo); 3-7pm: PD Jagger; 7-midnight: Dallace Jade (remotely from KKMG/Colorado Springs). Weekends with Roula, The Daly Download, and the DJ Kirby Dance Party will continue to be heard on the new 107.3 The Vibe.
Jagger commented, “Excited to move The Vibe to our new home at 107.3 and to help take it to a new level with our great local team! We will continue to be THE hit music station, playing 10 Songs In A Row every hour with the biggest hits, biggest contests and the most winners! We are kicking off our new Era, hooking up our listeners with a private screening of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie! All The Hits just got the upgrade, so move with us to 107.3 The Vibe!”
Tyler Frye, the new morning host, 107.3 The Vibe, added, “Is this real life? I get to wake up KC on our brand-new home, 107.3 The Vibe! I’m excited to kick off The Morning Vibe with Tyler Frye as we give our AMAZING listeners a chance to see Taylor Swift on the big screen for a private screening of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tourmovie. Taylor has been spending a lot of time in KC lately… maybe she’ll show up? A Swiftie can dream! Move with us as we kick off our best Era, All The Hits 107.3 The Vibe!”
