Moving Day For WMEZ/New Orleans

• Tomorrow, Dec. 6, Cumulus Urban AC at KMEZ (Old School 106.7)/New Orleans will move from 106.7 back to its original home at 102.9, replacing Rhythmic KKND (Power 102.9). The station will be freshly rebranded as Z102.9 while retaining its Urban AC format and great national and local personalities including Papa Smurf, D.L. Hughley and Downtown Lesli Brown.

Pat Galloway, Regional VP/Market Manager of Cumulus New Orleans, said, “102.9 FM is where KMEZ had its most successful ratings and we are looking forward to making KMEZ bigger and better than ever. At Z102.9, we will be all about New Orleans and continuing to provide New Orleanians with incredible music and entertainment, and timely local news, sports, weather and traffic that they can rely on. KMEZ is a very strong brand in the New Orleans market and our goal is to simply make it better!”

KMEZ PD J’Michael Francois commented, “During the first 30 days, Z102.9 will be heard on both Z102.9 and 106.7 so that all our current listeners will know that KMEZ will now be heard on 102.9. The goal at Cumulus New Orleans is to provide our listeners with great products and make our stations as strong as possible for both our listeners and our advertisers. The combination of our four radio stations and our digital platforms leads to great success for both our listeners and our sponsors.”
