D/FW Radio: KLIF-FM Shifting Away From Classic Hip Hop

Sounds like KLIF 93.3 FM/Hot 93-3 is moving aways from 'Classic Hip-Hop for the Holidays' and more toward a Rhythmic Top40 format.

Just two weeks The Cumulus station started airing "classic hip-hop for the holidays" and the move was seen as a prelude to a format shift after the holidays.  Since then Radio One has launched KSOC 94.5 FM/Boom 94-5" and now KLIF-FM, rebranded as Hot 93-3 in October,  is adding back currents.

The change started at 6pm Tuesday.

Cumulus Media says the five-year CHR station isn’t changing formats. Instead, SVP of programming Mike McVay describes the move as a “programming feature” on a station.

KLIF-FM had a 1.8 share (6+AQH) in Nielsen’s November ratings in a crowded CHR and urban market. A more currents-based playlist puts KLIF-FM closer to Service Broadcasting’s urban “K-104” KKDA-FM and Radio One’s rhythmic CHR “97.9 The Beat” KBFB.
