Old news ,but not many people may not have heard about it. WNWV "The Wave" to flip format from smooth jazz to adult album alternative By Julie Washington, The Plain Dealer December 23, 2009, 8:50PM WNWV "The Wave" is going "Boom!" The locally owned FM station, based in Elyria, is waving goodbye to its smooth-jazz format and its nickname, "The Wave." Instead, it will play Adult Album Alternative music, called Triple A in the radio business, and bill itself as "107.3 Boom!," according to Lonnie Gronek, vice president and general manager of Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting, which owns WNWV. More: http://www.cleveland.com/tv/index.ssf/2009/12/wnwv_the_wave_soon_to_flip_for.html And from their website: Welcome 107.3 Boom, The Wave goes online, HD Staff at WNWV 107.3 FM switched over at noon today from The Wave’s smooth jazz format to 107.3 Boom!, a new alternative and classic rock “Triple-A” format. The new Triple-A format promises a diverse playlist blending emerging artists with alternative rock and classic rock stars. A statement on The Wave’s Web site says, “After more than 20 years of providing smooth jazz to Northeast Ohio, we’re unable to sustain the format any longer due to a change in Ratings Service methodology. … Simply put, lower measurement equals lower ratings. Consequently, we cannot sustain the overhead associated with bringing you the music you love.” Wave fans can still hear smooth jazz live online at www.wnwv.com or on an HD radio at 107.3 HD2. The new 107.3 Boom! can be heard live online as well www.1073boom.com. Direct comments regarding the new format to station General Manager Lonnie Gronek, (440) 322-3761.

The Great Lakes Urban Exchange will be holding their annual conference here in Cleveland. GLUE is a multi-city effort of young progressives to begin to address challenges and celebrate innovation and opportunity throughout the industrial Midwest. Right now, they're seeking more information about Cleveland to help them plan out this "3-day blow-out of urban pride and ideas". Please take a minute to take their five-question survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WBLPZW2), and please feel free to forward it to anyone else you think would be appropriate.

At tomorrow's Cleveland Planning Commission meeting, Planning Director Bob Brown will provide a draft resolution calling for bike and pedestrian access to new Innerbelt Bridge.
