Cumulus Media has flipped CHR “Hot 98.9” 1120 WBBF/98.9 W255DH Buffalo NY to Sports “ESPN Buffalo“.
The move brings ESPN Radio network programming back to Buffalo for the first time since Audacy dropped it from 1520 WWKB exactly five years ago today.
WBBF will carry Buffalo Bills produced programming including the team’s “One Bills Live” from 10am to 12pm weekdays. One Bills Live previously aired on Audacy’s 550 WGR from 1-3pm until the franchise announced its plans to take its programming in-house in partnership with Good Karma Brands after the 2025 season. The show will now air on Cumulus’s 1260 WSKO Syracuse and iHeartMedia’s 1280 WHTK Rochester in addition to WBBF and MSG Network.

On September 8th, 0500 UTC I heard WMLB 1690 AM Avondale Estates simulcasting WCPT 820 AM. On the hour the WMLB ID was hear like this: “You are listening to a simulcast of Chicago’s progressive talk from Heartland Signal on WMBL Avondale Estates”
Rodney Gibbs, Executive Director of Heartland Signal wrote:
“To answer your question: yes, Heartland Signal now operates WMBL 1690 AM in Atlanta. We recently launched the station and are currently simulcasting our Chicago programming. We plan to add original local programming soon.
The Heartland Signal group is now broadcasting WCPT820 AM, KRNF 950 AM Minneapolis and WMLB 1690 AM Atlanta (Avondale Estates).”
According to FCC data Heartland Signal is not yet the owner of WMLB 1690. The licensee is still Disruptor Radio, LLC (John Fredericks). Heartland Signal LLC is listed as the operator (via a Time Brokerage Agreement / LMA). However, an assignment of authorization is pending with the FCC (submitted August 13, 2026, status pending).

Caroline DJs Tell the True Story of Riviera Radio
Riviera Radio is the English-language station covering the French Riviera, “From San Remo to Saint-Tropez.” It currently broadcasts on 106.5 FM from Mont Agel, but in the late 1990s it broadcast on the former RMC Radio Monte Carlo frequency of 702 kHz.
After being acquired by Global Radio, it changed its website and stated that the station “started as an initiative by Princess Grace to serve the English-speaking community along the French Riviera.”
But this is far from the truth: Riviera Radio, originally known as Radio Sovereign, was started by a group of pirate DJs, including some who had previously worked for Radio Caroline.
We decided to contact two of them, Grant Benson and Kevin Turner, and ask them to tell us the real story.
It is a story that began in Bordighera, Italy, using a 2 kW transmitter bought in Milan and an antenna purchased in the UK.
You can hear the full story in a 25-minute broadcast on Centrale Milano, broadcasting on 1575 kHz with 1 kW, at the following times:
Saturday, August 29 at 7.30 PM in Milan (17.30 UTC)
Thursday, September 3 at 00:30 in Milan (22.30 UTC Wednesday Sept. 2)
The station is also available via streaming at Centrale Milano.
