The on air imaging makes no mention of Up at all

The station imaging now just says 97-7

Website still active though

Changes on the way in Calgary?

Tuned in to 97.7 last night after reading flyonthewall's post and heard what is described above.

Checked in again this morning and while the announcers would say "UP," the jingles are gone and the only remaining production element is the traffic sounder. Didn't hear a single pre-recorded station promo just an announcer telling me I was listening to Jay and Laurie on UP Ninety-Seven Seven.

They also seem to be missing one morning show host - Leslie Stein? https://instagram.com/leslie_stein/

Jay Donovan sure sounds like Jay Oliver from 96.9 Kiss FM Calgary back in the late '90s.

New ownership and (possibly) management would constitute some changes that might have legs.

Kim Wilde's '80s show is gone from Up! Calgary but remains on Edmonton's Pattison-owned Up!
