Power 97 is back in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, August 12, 2016 – Corus Radio is turning the power back on for Winnipeggers with the relaunch of 97.5 BIG FM to the new Power 97! Powering up at noon today, the legendary Winnipeg brand is back where it belongs at 97.5, offering listeners the music they’ve been craving and missing, with a hot new take on rock variety.

Unveiling a new logo, website and sound, the refreshed station launches in a music intensive mode, giving listeners an opportunity to welcome the return of Power 97 by listening to all music, all the time. A full line-up of Power 97 personalities and shows will be announced in early September.

“The return of Power 97 allows us to give this beloved brand back to a city whose rock tastes have evolved. Power 97 will satisfy the appetite for rock variety that has been missing on Winnipeg radio,” says Tammy Cole, Power 97 Program Director, Corus Radio Winnipeg. “We think the new Power 97 will excite Winnipeg listeners with a new spin on modern and mainstream rock that also pays homage to the music that made Power 97 famous. We are thrilled to get this new sound on the air.”

The call signs remain the same CJKR-FM
 
So the station had been Classic Rock and now it will be a mix of current, alternative and classic rock. I guess 92.1 CITI-FM already had the Classic Rock territory covered, so CJKR will go back to a more contemporary sound.
