WPLJ Today
In late February 2008 the Rocky Allen Showgram featuring Rocky Allen and Blain Ensley was dropped as part of a company-wide series of staff cutbacks at Citadel. WPLJ's digital HD2 channel broadcasts programming from Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel from ABC Radio, while their HD3 channel is a simulcast of WABC. On February 16, 2009 WPLJ started airing the syndicated program The Billy Bush Show.
In April 2009 WPLJ adopted a new slogan, "Scott and Todd in the Morning and Today's Best Music."
WPLJ introduced a new logo in July 2009.
On July 25, 2011 Scott and Todd joined 20th Century Fox's cast for a six week summer test of its nightly entertainment news magazine Dish Nation. In January 2012, Fox announced Dish Nation would return for a full 52-week season with Scott and Todd as members of its four city round table.
Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011. By October 2011, Nielsen BDS moved rival WWFS (owned by CBS Radio) from the AC panel to the hot AC panel, giving New York City two hot adult contemporary stations, although Mediabase moved the station to the hot AC panel later that month. This gave New York City two hot adult contemporary stations for the first time since 1998, when WBIX (now urban contemporary radio station WWPR-FM) dropped it for a rhythmic oldies format.
