Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., Mix 97.7 switched its name to Up! 97.7, changing its format from hits of the ’80s, ’90s and today to “upbeat” and “feel good” songs from all genres and all eras.

The station, one of Rawlco’s 15 in Alberta and Saskatchewan, will be giving listeners the entire long weekend to grasp the concept and change, with Up! spinning songs as diverse as Fleetwood Mac’s Don’t Stop, Katy Perry’s California Gurls and the Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive.

Of course, there are some who weren’t feeling the upbeat mood and excitement of the launch — most of the on-air staff who were told Friday morning of the move and let go immediately, including morning crew Sue Deyell and Beesley, and Night Mix host Allison Brock.

Wow...sucks.
