Alpha Media has launched yet another Classic Hip-Hop G branded station as
CHR Energy 102.3 Morton/Peoria IL was reborn as G102.3 at 5pm today.

The syndicated Brooke Jubal show which had been airing in afternoons on
WNGY moves to mornings replacing The Kane Show.

WNGY had failed to make much of an impact against the two other CHRs in the
Peoria market. In the Spring 2016 ratings WNGY held just a 2.1 share of the
market. Cumulus Rhythmic CHR Peorias 92.3 WZPW held a 6.4 share, while
Advanced Media Partners 98.5 Kiss-FM WPIA does not subscribe. Cumulus 101.5
WBNQ Bloomington is also heard throughout much of the market.

Alpha Media, Peoria announced today the launch of G102.3 “The Throwback
Station!� WNGY, previously Energy 102.3, will play your favorite throwbacks
like The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Destiny’s Child and
many more.

Weekday mornings will kick off with Brooke Jubal from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM.

Alpha Media SVP/Market Manager, Mike Wild commented on the announcement,
“G102.3 will be an extremely fun and exciting station that brings back hits
from 10 and 20 years ago when Top 40 was highly rhythm-driven. It’s music
from the period when Urban became Suburban.�

“This is so awesome!!! How cool is it that we get to play artists like
Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony!?!?! These are the songs I
grew up with and I’m excited to bring them to the Peoria area,� remarked
Program Director, Chris “Lucky The DJ� Stewart.

G102.3 can be streamed live at www.g1023.com
