Danbury Radio Station Switches To Classic Rock Format

DANBURY, CT — WAXB-AM and W233CF (B945)/Danbury have switched musical formats.

As of 3 p.m. Wednesday, the local Berkshire Broadcasting Corporation stations, and their internet streams, have rebranded as "945 The Hawk" and are delivering a mix of classic rock songs. The stations transitioned from an "oldies/classic hits" format.

Berkshire Broadcasting now owns and operates the following in the Danbury Nielsen market:

• WLAD – 94.1 (W231DJ)/800AM (News/Talk)
• 98Q (WDAQ) – 98.3 (Top 40)
• 1037rock – 107.3/WDAQ HD-2 (Alternative)
• The Bull – 97.9 (W250CH)/107.3 (W297AN)/WDAQ HD-3 (Country)
• The Hawk – 94.5 (W233CF)/850AM

"Morphing from a traditional oldies station to an 80's based classic hits/classic rock mix. We just felt that now was the right time to get off the fence and go all in. '945 The Hawk' is a classic rock that really rocks," Berkshire Broadcasting CEO Irv Goldstein said in a news release.
