New audio imaging for WBBM

Recommended Posts

Not sseing anything online yet, but WBBM (the AM/FM news radio version of course, not the pop FM) just unveiled their first sonic branding in around twenty years and the FM broadcast on 105.9 is now fully emphasized in it with no sign of 780 outside the ID. It's a match for the older version, just much more modernized...and now traffic has music backing it for the first time ever. No logo change with this one since they did that a few years back already.

 

If you can hear it I think you'll like it; it's like the KYW sonics, if a little more 'Chicago hard-edged'.

They've dropped their long time musical logo for an altered version. Makes me wonder if that was a conscious decision, or if TM owns that musical logo outright.

It might have been a purposeful decision as the older package is intended for true news radio stations, but more and more is used by 'news/talk' stations where the news is second to the talk, so it's now one of those 'misnomer' packages. Thus after everyone else changed in the group, WBBM/Audacy were ready to ditch and modernize it.
