One Day Later, 96.9 Turns into Electronic Dance Station

After just one day on the air, Power 96.9 is no more, according to the Greater Boston Media Group.

 

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.

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