iHeartMedia has completed its shuffling of properties in Panama City FL
with the launch of Rock 94.5 WFLF-FM Parker.

Stating is will focus on Rock music from the 90s through now (despite two
of the first songs being from earlier), the new station will air the
syndicated Lex Terry in mornings. iHearts national voicetrackers Theresa, Chumley, and Klinger will make up the remainder of the weekday lineup. The station will also carry Florida State University football.

Rock 94.5 launched at 5pm today with Van Halens Panama, Papa Roach Last
Resort, Heart Barracuda, and Beck Loser.

The launch follows the move of Conservative Talk 94.5 WFLA to 96.3 W242BF
and 102.5 W273DU Panama City on Wednesday followed by two and a half days
of stunting as Christmas 94.5. W242BF had been operating as Rock “96 Rock” since June 2017.

The new format creates a competitor to Magic Broadcasting’s “97X” WYYX Bonifay, which had been the only other Rock based station in the market
since 95.9 WRBA’s shift from Classic Rock to Classic Hits last year.
