Windsor’s 88.7 is reportedly set to return to a rock format after several years of country programming, with a social media tease pointing to a flip this week. A post from New Rock 89X on Facebook shows a teaser image and hints that the change could take place on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 8:08 a.m.
The station, which is owned by Bell Media, switched to country music in November 2020. If the flip goes ahead, it would mark a return to rock for listeners in the Windsor area and could influence the station’s weekday lineup and local advertising dynamics.
The use of a precise time stamp and a teaser image illustrates how radio stations increasingly lean on social media to drum up anticipation for format changes. Should the switch be confirmed, rock fans may want to tune in at 8:08 a.m. to hear what the station has planned.
What to watch next:
– Whether there is an official confirmation from Bell Media
– Any changes to on-air talent or programming after the flip
– How listeners and advertisers respond to the return of rock on 88.7
Overall, the story signals a positive shift for rock radio in the Windsor market, potentially refreshing the local airwaves and offering new options for listeners.
Notes and potential additions:
– If available later, include details on the specific rock format (classic vs. modern rock) and any new shows or hosts.
– Consider adding listener reactions or quotes from local musicians if they become available.
