CBS Radios Play.It is relaunching the Loveline brand as a podcast hosted by

Loveline with Amber Rose will feature weekly hour long episodes on
Thursdays starting September 8. Play.it will soon add a video component
with the first fifteen minutes of each show added on a Facebook and the
entire show coming to the Play.it YouTube channel at a later date.

Amber Rose is a model and actress, who most recently hosted a talk show on
VH1. Dr. Chris Donaghue is clinical therapist focusing on human sexuality.

Loveline debuted on 106.7 KROQ Los Angeles in 1983 and its most recent
iteration syndicated by Westwood One ended in April with the exit of Dr.
Drew Pinsky and ‘Psycho Mike’ Catherwood.

CBS RADIO and CBS Local Digital Media today announced the podcast launch of
“Loveline with Amber Rose,� a new weekly show hosted by feminist, author,
model and actress, Amber Rose, hosted on the Play.it network. The hour-long
show will be released weekly on Thursdays via LovelineWithAmberRose.com and
iTunes beginning Thursday, Sept. 8. In the launch episode, Rose chats with
the shows co-host and resident sex therapist, Dr. Chris Donaghue, delving
into a number of topics including sexual confidence, sexting and more.

“Loveline with Amber Rose� marks the return of the popular “Loveline� talk
radio show, now in the contemporary podcast format. The show will explore
topics ranging from sexual curiosity and relationships to self-empowerment
– all embodying Rose’s distinct and refreshing honesty and flair. In each
episode, she and Dr. Donaghue will chat openly with other sex counselors
and special guests as they discuss stories and topical issues, as well as
take listeners’ calls so they can share their personal experiences in a
judgement-free environment.

“Were excited to relaunch ‘Loveline’ as a Play.it original,� said Chris
Oliviero, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS RADIO. “Amber’s modern
take on love and relationships is not only an ideal fit for the evolution
of this iconic franchise, but she will also help further expand the reach
and appeal of our entire on demand platform.�

“Amber Rose’s distinctive voice is a welcomed addition to the growing
roster of original podcasts on Play.it,� added Adam Wiener, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, CBS Local Digital Media. “Her blunt
commentary on sex, relationships, and love is sure to be a hit with her
loyal fans and our listeners. We are thrilled to bring a fresh take to the
brand with Rose’s unique perspective and introduce a whole new generation
to ‘Loveline.’�

“I am super excited to take over and work with such a legendary brand like
‘Loveline,’� said Rose. “This podcast is a chance for me to share my raw
and honest experiences with my fans and hear their stories. Dr. Donaghue
and I have a great relationship, and I’m happy he’s joining me on this
journey. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!�

The podcast will also be captured on video, which will debut at a later
date via the Play.it YouTube channel. Additionally, upon video launch, the
first 10-15 minutes of each podcast episode will be streamed on Facebook
Live through Rose’s page, during which her fans can engage and ask
questions.

Fans will have an exclusive opportunity to win a trip of a lifetime to Los
Angeles to meet Rose in person through Play.it’s sweepstakes beginning
today. More information on the contest can be found via
LovelineWithAmberRose.com.

Listeners can also participate in the conversation via Rose’s official
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat pages using the hashtag
#LovelineAmberRose.

Beginning in 1983 on CBS RADIO’s KROQ in Los Angeles, “Loveline� was the
longest running talk radio show ever on FM radio in the United States. The
program went on to be nationally syndicated, and eventually led to a
television show on MTV with the same name. The show spanned multiple
generations with listeners calling in to get their questions on sex,
relationships and more answered live on-air.

MUVA, as Rose is affectionately known, has quickly become the unapologetic
face of neo-feminism. Her rise to massive popularity is largely attributed
to her controversial yet impactful voice on women’s issues, through her
non-profit, the Amber Rose Foundation, dedicated to women empowerment and
equality.

Last year, Rose rallied her massive social media following to help produce
the largest demonstration in the World to raise awareness about victim
blaming in sexual assault for survivors and supporters. The inaugural
event drew over 10,000 people, as well as the millions streaming online,
and will be held again this year in Los Angeles on Oct. 1.

In addition to her philanthropy, Rose has an extensive entrepreneurial
profile, which includes acting, producing film and television, modeling, an
active public speaking and touring schedule, a clothing line, management
company, top-selling book with Simon Schuster, and the #1 paid-app in the
world MUVAmoji. She also hosts a well-received talk show on VH1 titled,
“The Amber Rose Show,� and is the face of Flirt Cosmetics, a partnership
with Estee Lauder.

Dr. Donaghue is a Doctor of Clinical Sexology and Human Sexuality, Doctoral
trained in Clinical Psychology, Licensed Clinical Therapist, and a
Certified Sex Therapist. He is nationally recognized as a sex and
relationship expert, featured expert on VH1’s “The Amber Rose Show,�
regularly appearing on CBS’s “The Doctors,� WE’s “Sex Box,� Logo TV’s “Bad
Sex,� and has been featured in Newsweek, and seen on CNN, OWN, Dr. Drew’s
“Lifechangers,� National Geographic and many more. His first book, “Sex
Outside the Lines: Authentic Sexuality in a Sexually Dysfunctional Culture�
was published July 2015.

Sky 106.5 Debuts in Clarksburg

West Virginia Radio Corporation flipped AC Magic 106.5 WWLW Clarksburg WV
to Classic Hits Sky 106.5 on Labor Day.

The stations airstaff remains in-tact with the change. WWLW ranked fourth
in the Morgantown-Clarksburg-Fairmont market with a 5.2 share in the Spring
2016 Nielsen Audio ratings, but the new format creates considerable overlap
with AJG Corporations Classic Top 40 93.1 WFGM Barrackville, which is in a
JSA with West Virginia Radio Corporation. That station registered a 1.8
share in the Spring ratings.

FCC Report 9/5: How To Track Translator Applications

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 02:07 PM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/blog/headli...-applications/



And the thing is we found out about it from a listener.

That was Empire Broadcasting head Steve Kingston in response to his AAA
103.1 WRNR-FM Grasonville/Annapolis MD gaining a new co-channel neighbor
from the AM Translator Revitalization Waiver. American FM Associates was
granted a CP to move 94.3 W276DE Roxana DE to 103.1 in Baltimore where it
would rebroadcast Christian Talk 1230 WRBS with 99w/49m.

While the new translator will come nowhere near the protected contour of
WRNR, the station reaches a much broader area thanks to the water
propagation of the Chesapeake Bay. Much like other translators that have
attempted to move into markets where rimshot stations were already
established, it is doubtful the translator will ever see light of day on
103.1 once WRNRs Petition For Reconsideration is filed.
