of the episode's discussions constituted "broadcast obscenity". The station's owner, Sonderling Broadcasting, did not appeal the ruling. Femme Forum was dropped from the station shortly thereafter and the station returned to airing an oldies format. WBMX In 1974, the station's call sign was changed to WBMX, standing for "Black Music EXperience", and the station adopted an urban contemporary format. The station continued airing an urban contemporary format into the late 1980s. During this era the station helped give rise to a new generation of DJs whose formats brought dance music to Chicago's airwaves. The Hot Mix 5 went on to help define what became known as Chicago House music. In 1988, the station was sold to Sky Broadcasting for $27 million. Sky Broadcasting was taken over by Broadcasting Partners later that year. WVAZ At 5 p.m. on October 18, 1988, the station shifted to an urban adult contemporary format and the station was branded V103, with its call sign changing to WVAZ. Broadcasting Partners was acquired by Evergreen Media in 1995, which in turn merged with Chancellor Broadcasting in 1997. Chancellor restructured as AMFM, Inc. in 1999, and in 2000 merged with Clear Channel Communications. In March 2009, WVAZ replaced the Tom Joyner Morning Show with The Steve Harvey Morning Show, which moved from 107.5 WGCI-FM. WVAZ had been the largest affiliate by market size to carry the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
