iHeartMedia WCKY-FM/Toledo, OH, has rebranded as “Buckeye Country, 103.7 ‘CKY” playing country superstars from the past few decades. The station previously used the Buckeye brand from 1999 until 2007. The playlist will shift a little to Classic Country, with an emphasis on the 80s and 90s.
Market President Shosh Abromovich said, “We’re so excited to once again be playing some of country music’s greatest songs from the 80s & 90s through today. You may even hear some older classic country from time-to-time. These are the songs that take you through a range of emotions; from love to heartbreak to having a beer with your friends on the weekend. You’ll be able to sing along and dance along to every song we play.”
“This is actually a return to the station’s roots,” noted Account Executive Todd Wright, who has been with WCKY-FM for 30 years. “The call letters WCKY were actually selected from the word ‘buCKeYe,’ and we were known as ‘Buckeye Country’ until 2007.”
The Bobby Bones Show will remain in morning drive; Bob Delmont and Bob Pickett will split middays; Meaghan Mick continues in afternoon drive. Tom Travis is new to nights; CMT with Cody Allen fills overnights.
