SummitMedia Welcomes Awesome 100.9
SummitMedia announces the arrival of today’s hits and nostalgia to Richmond Virginia with the new Awesome 100.9 that delivers ‘Totally 80s and More’ on WJSR with artists including: Madonna, Journey, Duran Duran, and Michael Jackson, as well as a handful of select hits from the 90s and 2000s.
The rebranded 103.7 Your Variety brings the ‘Best of 2K and Today’ on WURV. The station, formerly known as 1037 Play, features today’s artists such as Dua Lipa, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, as well as the biggest hits of the 2000s, including Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Adele and Katy Perry.
“The great thing about these two stations is that they work in synergy with each other,” said Bob Willoughby, market manager. “From Boomers to Gen X’ers to Millennials, we know that these songs will recall fond memories and offer incredible music that is as relevant today as it was when it first came out.”
One of the biggest names in radio returns to Richmond with this switch. On Air with Ryan Seacrest takes the midday slot on WURV, joining well-known local personalities Melissa Chase in Mornings and Jason Paige in Afternoons. Awesome 100.9 will add on air talent to their station later this month.
“Our consumers want and need an escape and that’s what both stations deliver,” added Randy Chase, Summit’s executive vice president of programming. “Together, these two stations strategically align our us to super serve the Richmond audience.”
