Oregon Media Insiders

It's official: Rhythmic CHR is gone from the Portland dial, and sports talk is coming to FM radio:

Effective May 12, Jammin' 95.5 will switch from its current hip-hop/R&B lineup to an all-sports format, take the name The Game, and move into competition with KFXX (1080 The Fan).

The official announcement is expected Friday.

More than more talk, the move means a new home for the Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Seahawks and Oregon Ducks. All have been on KXL (750). Also on KXL was Oregonian columnist John Canzano's "Bald-Faced Truth." That show, which moves to a 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. time slot, will be one of three local shows on the new station. Gavin Dawson, recently of KFXX, will host a one-hour show after Canzano, The Oregonian has learned.

The O also says Katy Brown will be co-hosting the morning show with Ken Vance as WWeek reported last week.

I'll have more in a bit.
