It appears 101.7 will become WHBA

[Bob Nelson]

Mark S was hearing it goes to automated FNX music at 7 till the actual
takeover (Mon.?) Not sure if there will be a stunt.

Talent usually isn't informed on what's happening in a situation like
this (close-lipped on format change)--so he may be playing us for
fun--but WXKS (AM)'s Jeff Katz said on facebook "it occurred to me
that there may be too much music on the FM band".
Uh huh. Yup, he may just playing that rumor around a bit... Similarly
talent may not find out about a format change--that involves them
being laid off--until they get that call into the office moments or
hours before the flip. (In WFNX's case though there was more than
enough advance notice as well as the opportunity to do "final shows")
