No more 107.1
It is going to be a Jazz/AC station... So again WLIR will be going away. Not sure if it will be back. 
The article:
Morey Launches 'FM Channel Casting'
On Three L.I. FMs
Later this week, The Morey Organization will transform all three of its Long Island properties — Classic Rock WBON, Dance WDRE and Alternative WLIR — to commercial-free jockless stations in an attempt to combat satellite radio, iPods and Internet radio. Additionally, WLIR will flip to a Smooth Jazz/Chill/AC hybrid known as "FM Channel 107: NeoBreeze," with WBON rebranded as "FM Channel 98: Long Island Rock" and WDRE morphing to CHR/Pop as "FM Channel 105: Party Hits."
All three stations will be overseen by PD Harlan Friedman, and WDRE PD Andre Ferro will exit soon. Airtime will be sponsored by advertisers, but no commercials will air during the paid time. There will not be an airstaff, and the stations will feature very little imaging.
"We realized with all the clutter and the talk about 'Less Is More,' we had to stand out in the crowd, and we had to make our advertisers feel special," TMO President John Caracciolo tells R&R. "What we're trying to do is something positive for the advertisers and simultaneously for the listeners as well. It'll be clean, it'll be clutterless."

Re: No more 107.1
That stinks - I liked the Party. I guess they are trying to do the same thing as Jack 101. I wonder if Jamie and Dale will still listen to "FM Channel 98: Long Island Rock" instead of the 'The Bone'. Long live WALK!

Re: No more 107.1
Dale likes 99.1 for Chazz & AJ. He actually will call them up in the morning and be on the show! lol.
well maybe 94.3 will switch up the format and get a better signal strength. Keep some of those 80's songs alive...
