Over/Under LLC Rhythmic CHR “Loud 102.3” 1470 WLOA Farrell/102.3 W272EI Youngstown OH is adding two Compass Media Networks programs to its daily schedule starting Monday, September 13.
WLOA will become the Youngstown affiliate of Compass’ “DeDe in the Morning” from 5-10am and “XXL Higher Level Radio” in evenings from 7-10pm weekdays. The station will also carry the Saturday “Weekend Kickback” edition of the DeDe Mcguire hosted show.

Youngstown’s Hip-Hop station, Loud 102.3 (WLOA-AM), is poised to continue to expand their empire in the Youngstown market by teaming up with Compass Media Networks and bringing two top-flight shows to their weekday line-ups.
“DeDe in the Morning” will start the weekday line-up, bringing the proven success and polish of the Houston-based show. Loud 102.3 will also feature the special Saturday edition of the show, “The Weekend Kickback”.
“XXL Higher Level Radio” will slide in at night from 7p-10p giving Youngstown a daily dose of the hottest music, breaking pop culture news and insight from the pages of THE authority on hip-hop.
“Shout out to Nancy and Liane and the Compass team for helping us add two high caliber shows that we know will connect with our local listeners here in the 330. DeDe has shown time after time in market after market that she and her team put up nothing but W’s.” says Loud 102.3 General Manager Chip Banks, adding “DJ Digital has grown XXL Higher Level Radio into a powerhouse. Nights are hard to fill anywhere so having a difference maker that has street cred will be a huge boost for a great college market like Youngstown. It will be THE soundtrack for those nights along restaurant row on Federal Ave.”
Both shows make their debut on Loud 102.3 on Monday, September 13th. To listen, stream at Loud1023.com. For more information, email 330Info@Loud1023.com.
