News92.1 FM, a struggling radio station in Houston, has ended it’s news broadcasting as of Oct. 8 and switched its format. Its new format? 24 hours a day of nothing but Beyoncé songs.
The station issued a press release announcing the change.
“This difficult decision is a result of sustained poor ratings performance and significant financial losses over the past three years,” the station says via statement.
No longer capable of competing in the current media climate, they decided to make the change. 92FM was Houston’s first all-news FM radio station. But now, they will air the pop diva’s music round-the-clock, commercial-free.
“Unfortunately, the market hasn’t shown a sustainable appetite for news radio, but each of you motivated us daily to produce a high-quality news program,” the press release says. “Together, we made history.”
