Hey there, time traveller!

Corus Entertainment is promising big changes to Power 97 FM.
The station, rebranded as 97.5 BIG FM is now playing classic rock. The first song played under the new format was Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time.”
The station laid off two morning personalities, Holly Bausman and TJ Connors, earlier this week, suggesting changes were in store for the hard-rock station.
On Thursday, the usual sounds from artists such as AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne were replaced with a promo for today’s announcement.
The station’s Twitter account posted a promo Thursday, saying “Something big is coming tomorrow,” with a denim background.
Power 97 fell to 12th in Winnipeg’s 15-station radio standings with 2.6 per cent of the 12-and-older listening audience, according to ratings released by Numeris in November 2014.
In Numeris’s spring ratings, Power 97 was in 10th place at 4.6 per cent of city’s listening audience.
Corus Entertainment also operates CJOB 680 AM and 99.1 Fresh FM.
