Hip-hop Flava at new station

Cool jazz has made way for hip-hop/R'n'B with the launch of new radio station Flava 96.1.

The Radio Network-owned station began broadcasting yesterday.

The previous occupant of the frequency was jazz and blues station Cool Blue FM, which went off air at midnight last Saturday.

Oscar Kightley and former Mai FM presenter Stacey Daniels will front Flava's breakfast show.
