New Radio Station 96.9 Changes Again - True Station Now A Mystery

After just one day on the air, Power 96.9 is no more and an electronic dance station has taken its place according to the Greater Boston Media Group. What type of station will the new channel finally end up being?

If you tuned in to 96.9 Thursday morning and were hoping to hear either news talk radio or hip hop, you're out of luck.

After shutting down NewsTalk 96.9 on Wednesday in favor of Power 96.9, a new hip hop and R&B channel, 96.9 morphed again today into an eletronic dance station, Nova.

"The transformation of  the new 96.9 FM continued today at 10 a.m. with the launch of NOVA, Boston’s new electronic dance music (EDM) station," announced Greater Media Boston in a statement.

"Plan on more surprises to be unveiled throughout the week," the statement said.

It doesn't take too much speculation to guess the station will change all week at 10 a.m. each day.
