The classic Hip-Hop/R&B fad is catching on like wildfire. Even in the black belt section of Alabama, one radio station has gone that route. The station is WJUS 1310 AM/94.3 FM from Marion Alabama. Caught wind of this change Saturday afternoon, while surfing the dial, here in Selma. The programming, from what I could tell, was a satellite based network.

P.S. I look for even more Alabama stations, including some in my area, to flip to the Classic Hip-Hop/R&B fad format within the next few weeks.
That flip was short lived. WJUS Marion is back to doing Party Blues and Oldies.
