Becoming 'Mega 95.5'
By Keith Berman
Updated 2 Hour(s) 10 Minute(s) ago
R&R has learned that Clear Channel is indeed flipping smooth jazz WNUA/Chicago after 22 years in the format -- but, contrary to popular rumors, the station is going what's described as Spanish hot AC as "Mega 95.5."
Details regarding the flip were posted on the Chicago Tribune's Web site late Thursday (May 21) night, which said WNUA morning talent Ramsey Lewis will sign off in the 9 a.m. hour on Friday morning (May 22), followed by an audio montage of 95.5's history over the years before rolling into 5,000 songs commercial-free in the new format at the frequency-related time of 9:55 a.m.

Dr. Drew Pinsky
Loveline
Co-host
"Loveline" began in 1983 at alternative KROQ/Los Angeles on Sunday nights, hosted by Jim "Poorman" Trenton and Swedish Egil. About a year later, Trenton added a segment, "Ask a Surgeon," hosted by his friend Dr. Drew Pinsky, a fourth-year med student at the University of Southern California. Soon, the segment became the show itself with Pinsky and Trenton as co-hosts. "Loveline" expanded to five nights per week in 1992, entered national syndication in 1995 and also ran for five years on MTV.
