A Vancouver FM radio station that has undergone some major programming additions also recently underwent a subtle rebrand.<\/p>\n
The station, formerly known as KiSS Throwbacks, which broadcasts on 104.9 FM in Vancouver, will now be known as KiSS West Coast.<\/p>\n
The station also broadcasts on 92.5 FM in Abbotsford and 107.5 FM in Chilliwack.<\/p>\n
No official press release has been issued for the Rogers-owned station, but the rebrand is clear on the station\u2019s social media pages<\/a>. We have reached out to Rogers for more information.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the only major change coming to the station.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, we learned<\/a> that 104.9 FM was going to become the new home for Canucks radio broadcasts.<\/p>\n A post on Instagram announced the news, saying, \u201cKiSS Throwbacks is the new home for Vancouver Canucks radio broadcasts!\u2063\u201d<\/p>\n That would obviously now say, KiSS West Coast is the new home for Vancouver Canucks radio broadcasts.<\/p>\n While you\u2019ll be able to hear Canucks games on the station, there will not be any pre- or post-game coverage available to listen to on the radio.<\/p>\n With no pre- or post-game show, KiSS Throwbacks could go straight from \u201cNo Scrubs\u201d by TLC to the Canucks game, and straight out of the Canucks into \u201cOops!\u2026I Did It Again\u201d by Britney Spears.<\/p>\n This marks the second rebrand for the station, as it only rebranded to KiSS Throwbacks last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Prior to the \u201cThrowbacks\u201d moniker, the station was Sonic 104.9. The rebrand was also a format switch to a new-old era of music.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re playing throwback music from the 2000s, the 1990s, all the stuff you know, all the stuff you love,\u201d we learned at the time.<\/p>\n The Vancouver radio landscape has undergone some massive changes over the past few years, and in comparison to those, like the closure of AM730<\/a> or News1130<\/a>, this change is fairly minor.<\/p>\n With files from Rob Williams<\/p>\n
