Audacy rebrands KOOL-FM (94.5 KOOL FM) in Phoenix to "Big 94.5." The Classic Hits outlet will continue to deliver favorites from Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode and more. The station will also launch with a new weekday lineup beginning October 10.

"Since KOOL's first broadcast over half a century ago, the station has provided "The Valley" with the very best the classic hits format has to offer and we're thrilled to usher in this next chapter with Big 94.5," said Audacy Phoenix Senior Vice President and Market Manager Dave Pugh. "Big 94.5 will exceed the expectations of our current audience by bringing a more up-tempo delivery and playing the "Big Hits" from the 70s, 80s and the 90s."

The new lineup beginning October 10 includes Lara Scott (10am-2pm PT), Niko (2-7pm) and Kaden (7pm-12am).
