Listeners of the popular “Dave and Chuck the Freak” show on 92.9 FM in Boston may have been caught off guard when they tuned in and heard business news instead.
The station, formerly known as Rock 92.9 FM, has been replaced by Bloomberg Radio. This change follows an announcement last month by the station’s parent company, Beasley Media Group.
Beasley Media Group stated that the decision to switch to Bloomberg Radio was made to “have an increased presence in the region,” reflecting a shift in focus from rock music to business news and financial content.
Rock 92.9’s content, including “Dave and Chuck the Freak,” will be moving to a new home, though specific details on its new location or format have yet to be disclosed.
The move to Bloomberg Radio marks a significant change for listeners who were accustomed to the station’s rock music and comedic morning show.
