What happened to Rock 92.9?
Unfortunately, 92.9 will soon be switching to Bloomberg Radio, though Rock 92.9 listeners will just have to switch to a different station to get the same music they’re used to.
“Rock 92.9 along with Dave and Chuck the Freak will be heard on 92.9 WBOS-FM HD2, 106.1 FM, WRCA 1330 AM and on the Rock 92.9 App and stream,” a press release about the switch states, per The Boston Herald.
Though fans will just have to tune into a different channel to hear the station’s offerings, this is not the only big change the station is experiencing. According to the outlet, Adam 12 has also departed the station following the change, with his last day being on Sept. 3. He has not yet announced if he will be moving to a different station; other than Adam, the cast for Rock 92.9 will remain the same.

“We’re excited to expand our great partnership with a global news and business leader of Bloomberg’s magnitude,” Mary Menna, Beasley Media’s Regional VP for the Northeast, told The Boston Herald. “This unique programming underscores the company’s commitment to providing our listeners with the very best content and compliments our other Boston brands: 98.5 The Sports Hub, HOT 96.9, WROR 105.7, and Country 102.5.”
