JOCK TALK: There are big changes over at 94.7. BIG ONES. And one of the biggest has a retro-fitted flavor. I just got an email stating that starting this week DARIA IS BACK ON 94/7. As indicated by the following email: "Listen Friday afternoons at 4:45 pm when she joins Gustav to entertain us all with her wildly amusing comments and a hot recommendation for what to do in and around Portland each and every weekend!"

Now before you get all hot and bothered thinking that Daria is about to leave The Buzz, the gorgeous gal herself says she'll just be visiting.

"I'm not going anywhere," said Daria. "I'll never leave Mitch and Ted. (On) Fridays, I'll just walk down the hall and join Gustav for a few minutes to shoot the sh*t. It's a cross-over cameo, like when Mork came back to Happy Days."

But there are other, more significant changes in the works at 94/7.

The full report to KNRK listeners, from Program Director Mark Hamilton, is available by clicking read more:

About a month ago we asked you and all 94/7 Nation Members to participate in our latest survey. Having built 94/7 based on your input several years ago we thought it was time to ‘take a look under the hood’ and get your feedback again to basically make us BETTER! Thanks to all of you who took part: literally thousands participated and I hope you had fun reading the great listener comments we posted at 947.fm and the replies people posted! After going through all the data and information you gave us, this morning we announced the exciting changes you wanted made to YOUR Radio Station

*You made it very clear that Loveline was no longer a good fit for 94/7 and that we should play MUSIC instead. In fact, over 70% of you gave the long running program the thumbs down. Yes, last night was the last time Loveline was broadcast on 94/7 and in its place, MUSIC! So, starting tonight join Producer Brian from 10pm until midnight Sunday through Thursday for a whole heaping bucketful of great music. In fact one of the things you told us in the survey was ‘more New Music Heaven.’ In addition to its daily time of 9am, 4pm and 7pm, New Music Heaven will also be featured at 11pm. Another awesome idea that came from you guys was to ‘play new albums in their entirety BEFORE they are in stores.’ That we WILL do Monday nights at 10pm when and where it makes sense!

*The Survey clearly showed that you guys LOVE the 8@8!!! However, many of the comments pointed to the fact that you either miss part of it or all of it and how about ‘replaying it later in the day/evening.’...Starting tonight at 8pm and every weeknight at 8pm, don’t miss the 8@8 REPLAY!

*Over the years many of you have commented that you miss Daria…and well, ‘why don’t you get her back?’ That was not possible until now: starting this week DARIA IS BACK ON 94/7. Listen Friday afternoons at 4:45 when she joins Gustav to entertain us all with her wildly amusing comments and a hot recommendation for what to do in and around Portland each and every weekend!

*And last, but not least we are THRILLED to announce that on Monday July 12th, 94/7too NW Bands ONLY (which up until now was available only on HD Radio AND streaming at 947.fm) will begin broadcasting on 910am. We are pretty sure this is the first station in the world that plays LOCAL MUSIC ONLY that can be heard online, on HD Radio and terrestrial Radio.
