competing station wrfx 99.7 fm changed to album rock that same year and needed a morning show. wrfx signed john boy and billy to be the station's wake up hosts, but they could not start their new show until november due to a noncompete clause. a $250,000 billboard and television campaign, in which the jocks had bags over their heads, preceded their return. on november 8 at 9:00 a.m., wrfx announced, "they're back!" and played "the boys are back in town" by thin lizzy. one difference on the new station, said john boy, was "we'll actually listen to the music ... we're rock 'n' roll guys."
