But O&A get to stay, because it's going all talk. It won't be donning the "Free FM" name.
However, read far enough and you'll find their new slogan.

CBS Radio rock WRKZ/Pittsburgh is flipping to talk as WTZN (93.7 The Zone) on Monday, April 2.
Targeting men 25-49, “Pittsburgh’s Man Station” will feature the syndicated “Opie & Anthony” show in mornings 6 a.m.- 9 a.m. (a holdover from `RKZ), Westwood One’s Dennis Miller Show from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., former crosstown CBS talk KDKA evening personality John McIntire from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. and former crosstown 20-year Clear Channel rock WDVE personality Scott Paulsen -- who R&R reported back in December would be joining the station after sitting out a non-compete -- will handle 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. The 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. hour, nights and overnights have yet to be determined.
“93.7 The Zone will be neither conservative nor liberal,” VP/GM Jim Meltzer said. “Its mantra is entertainment specifically designed for the men of Pittsburgh. We welcome this opportunity to create something unique in the market that isn’t being heard anywhere else.”
“Pittsburgh’s Man Station is guaranteed to touch on everything men care about,” added CBS Radio Pittsburgh VP of programming Keith Clark. “You can expect a wide range of interesting topics and discussions. If it’s Pittsburgh, in the news, funny, or bizarre, we’ll deal with it.”
As part of the preparation for the format flip, Friday (March 16) was the last day for CBS Radio talk/active rock WYSP (Free FM)/Philadelphia afternoon personality Kidd Chris’s cross-state simulcast to WRKZ.
