After a lot of thinking, estimation, budgets reviewing and research, and since we are in the final stage of project completion, we can now announce our new plans for 2011. January 30, 2011 will be the last operating day of Mitilini KISS FM 101.7 and RAGE RADIO 99.1 At midnight on January 31 (Monday), a new radio station will be born at 101.7, which will essentially be the "merger" of Kiss & Rage: POP FM!
Pop FM will be playing all times hits, except that it also contains an approximately 30% of Greek pop repertoire, depending on the producer. The existing programs of Kiss FM will not stop, but will be re-scheduled, because of the addition of the daily radio show of Radio Arvyla from Thessaloniki, 15:00 to 17:00.
The show of George Polychroniou will move to 8-10 in the morning. Meanwhile, the evening shows will probably move one hour later.
For the dissenters, I would like to emphasize that we need this change for the viability of the station. Having been general manager of the radio station for 18 years, I think I can figure out when a medium fulfilled its purpose and it's time to finish before it gets tiring. I didn't move the name of RAGE to the new frequency of 101.7, because the name got tiring for the people, given what it has been gone through. I decided to bring on air something new, fresh and lively, so that it has prospects, as I will announce later on, when the station will come on air in Mytilene! For the future of the frequency 99.1, there will be announcements later on.
POP FM will broadcast on 101.7 in Mytilene. In the internet, its address will be www.thepopfm.gr and beginning from March we will also stream and international program in English www.thepopfm.com
Preparations have started since days, including scheduling and recording for the new station image and we foresee that everything is going to be ready for the premiere.
Thanx!
Yours sincerely
Chris Valasellis
General Manager RAGE MEDIA
