Stingray Media is opting to network or syndicate morning shows over their Real Country and BOOM branded radio stations in rural Alberta. This will result in the elimination of 14 on air positions.
"The Real Wake Up" with Vinnie and Randi which is produced at Real Country 95.5 in Red Deer was launched on other Real Country stations in Alberta including Stettler, Brooks, Blairmore, Drumheller, St. Paul, Westlock and High Prairie.
BOOM morning shows will be simulcast in Brooks, Slave Lake, Whitecourt, Hinton, Wainwright, Lac La Biche, Athabasca and Slave Lake.
Local breaks, news and weather will still be handled by local announcers who will then host from 9am to 3pm. Stations will have local voice tracking on weekends.
Katie and Ed mornings on 90.3 AMP in Calgary also are featured in the morning on KOOL FM Bonnyville and Wayne FM Wainwright.
