Norfolk, VA – Get ready to party! iHeartMedia has launched a brand-new radio station in Norfolk, “Party 107.7,” bringing a fresh, feel-good sound to the city’s airwaves.
Formerly known as “Movin 107.7,” the station has undergone a format shift, transitioning from Rhythmic AC to a more Gold-based CHR presentation. Listeners can now expect a vibrant mix of hits spanning multiple decades, featuring artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Rihanna, Eminem, Ariana Grande, and Shaboozey.
The party kicked off at midnight with a high-energy lineup, including The Weeknd’s “The Hills,” Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em ft. Sammie’s “Kiss Me Thru The Phone,” Teddy swims’ “Lose Control,” Ashanti’s “Foolish,” and Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable.”
“with the launch of Party 107.7,we are flipping the switch on customary radio in Norfolk,offering our listeners an exciting mix of music and entertainment that keeps the party alive all day long,” said David Miller,Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia New England and Virginia Areas.Adding to the excitement, “Party 107.7” will soon welcome the nationally syndicated “Fred Show” to its morning lineup. Starting January 6th, Norfolk listeners can tune in to the popular Chicago-based show, which already boasts affiliates in Raleigh, NC, and Chicago, IL. One of the show’s co-hosts, “Showbiz Shelly,” is actually based in norfolk and currently hosts middays on “Party 107.7” as Michelle Love. This local connection adds a unique touch to the station’s programming.
The new format positions “Party 107.7” strategically between audacy’s Rhythmic CHR “Z104” (WNVZ) and Hot AC “94.9 The Point” (WPTE), offering listeners a distinct alternative in the Norfolk radio landscape.
