Revolution & Bull Swap Frequencies In Fort Lauderdale

Zoo Communications Dance Revolution and iHeartMedia Country 93.5 The Bull
have swapped locations in Fort Lauderdale.

Revolution moves to 93.5 W228BV Fort Lauderdale, which Revolution purchased
from Reach Communications earlier this year for $410,000. The move allows
Zoo to sync the Revolution format on three 93.5 licenses as it also airs on
WZFL Islamorada/Key Largo and iHeart owned 93.5 W228BY Miami via 100.7
WHYI-HD2.

The Country Bull format will slide to 104.7 W284CS Miami via 93.9 WMIA-HD2,
which despite the COL covers the southernmost portion of Broward County
including Hollywood. With its 0.1 share in the October 2016 ratings, the
format merely exists to give the syndicated Bobby Bones Show another major
market clearance.

As Radio One continues to move away from its gold based formats, Urban
Oldies Old School 95.5 WFUN-FM Bethalto IL/St. Louis has rebranded as 95.5:
RB Old School For The Lou.

The change brings more Urban AC tracks back into the playlist following a
similar move made at 100.3 WRNB Philadelphia in early October. The WFUN-FM
change also follows iHeartMedias flip of 100.3 The Beat KMJM-FM from
Classic Hip-Hop to Urban at the end of September.

WFUN-FM continues to feature the syndicated Tom Joyner in mornings.

Rich Dickerson is retiring after 25 years hosting The Love Doctors at
iHeartMedia Hot Talk Real Radio 94.3 WZZR Riviera Beach/West Palm Beach
101.7 WCZR Vero Beach FL.

Dickerson began the show on what was then Hot AC Z93 92.7 WZZR in 1991
after hosting a similar show with that name on 98.7 WKGR. The show and
format moved to the 94.3/101.7 simulcast in December 2002. His final show
will be Friday, December 16. Following Dickersons retirement co-hosts Dr.
Glenn Curtis and Lea Maresca and producer Dano Russo will continue the show.

Dickerson is also credited for helping to launch The Kiss Army fan club
while programming 100.7 WVTS Terre Haute IN in 1975.

iHeartMedia West Palm Beach announced today that noted radio personality
Rich Dickerson will retire from The Love Doctors on December 16, 2016. The
Love Doctors airs weekday afternoons on WZZR-FM Real Radio 94.3, Real Talk
for the Palm Beaches.

Â*

Dickerson launched The Love Doctors in August 1991 on WZZR-FM after hosting
an earlier incarnation of the show on iHeartMedia rock station WKGR-FM. He
is also the co-founder of The Love Doctors Charities, which has raised more
than $2.2 million for a variety of local causes including Florida Diabetes
Camp, the Challenger School playground and victims of the 2004 hurricanes.
The organization also held annual toy drives to benefit West Palm Beach
area children for more than 20 years.

The Love Doctors team will celebrate Dickerson’s career during his final
month on-air with special guests, show highlights and listener surprises.
After December 16, current The Love Doctors co-hosts Dr. Glenn Curtis, Dano
and Lea will continue hosting the weekday afternoon program.

“After doing this show for 25 years, I’ve decided it was time to hang up
the headphones,� Dickerson said. “Though I’ll miss my time on air, I know
that Glenn, Dano and Lea will continue with the compelling insight,
irreverence and cutting edge humor that The Love Doctors has been giving
the Treasure Coast for over two decades.�

“To say Rich is a one of a kind personality would be a major
understatement,� said Rad Messick, Senior Vice President of Programming for
iHeartMedia West Palm Beach. “He pioneered the FM talk radio landscape for
the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches, and has been an important, influential
and fun companion to thousands of area listeners daily for more than a
quarter century. We’re honored and grateful Rich chose to share his time
and many talents with us and wish him the best as he moves on to the next
phase of his life.�
