COMMONWEALTH PUBLIC BROADCASTING CORP., the public broadcaster in central VIRGINIA, has announced that stage one of its takeover of two ALPHA MEDIA stations -- 80s WBBT/POWHATAN-RICHMOND, VA and Classic Country WWLB (93.1 HANK FM)/ETTRICK-PETERSBURG-RICHMOND, VA -- will start today (2/15) with the two new acquisitions temporarily simulcasting its NPR affiliate WCVE-F/RICHMOND.
The previously-announced format changes that will move music programming off WCVE-F leaving it all-News-Talk and put Classical and Jazz programming on WBBT and WWLB, which will simulcast, are now expected to start in JUNE.
