Bringing San Diego Better Music for a Better Workday

San Diego, CA - At 5:00 PM Pacific Time today, Entercom introduced Sunny 98.1! to San Diego. The New Sunny 98.1 will deliver a contemporary playlist of stand-out hits from the 80's, 90's, 2000's and today.

'A lot has changed in the past three years and we felt that there was something missing in the current media landscape in San Diego,' said Pat Paxton, Entercom's President of Programming. 'We brought the best and brightest in to do research. The research unequivocally showed that young 30-40 year olds and our die-hard 40+ fans want a more current and contemporary music mix.'

The new station has been three years in the making. In 2013, Easy 98.1 launched in San Diego and it soon became a market leader, hitting the #1 spot in total audience shortly after the launch, seeing continued success over the past three years among all audience groups.

'Sunny 98.1! is the right station for San Diego…It is fun, upbeat and will feature music that engages listeners by evoking memories and connecting with fans,' said Bob Bolinger, Vice President/Market Manager of Entercom San Diego. 'Sunny 98.1! will offer listeners and advertisers tremendous ways to connect with audiences on air, online and at events throughout San Diego.'
