Radio Station Adopts Crowd-Sourced Format
No more DJs; listeners pick songs via Website or app
Cox Alternative "97X" WSUN-FM Holiday/Tampa, FL has gone jockless and will relaunch at 5pm today with a crowdsourced playlist powered by Listener Driven Radio.
The station claims it has expanded its playlist to over 1800 songs from the past 30 years. With the move to the crowdsourced music selection, the station will shift to a jockless presentation. Some of the staffers are being moved within the Cox Tampa cluster. Morning co-host Drew Garabo will expand his midday show on sister Hot Talk "102.5 The Bone" WHPT from two to three hours. Night host Geo will also move to 102.5 as he becomes Spice's co-host in the evening slot.
