If you're a fan of Beyoncé's music and wish the radio played her music more often, you may want to pack your bags and move to Houston.

FM radio station News92 revealed on its website Wednesday that it was shuttering its all-news programming due to poor ratings and rebranding as all Beyoncé, all the time.

"News92, Houston’s first FM all-news radio station aired its last broadcast Wednesday, October 8, 2014," the station announced. "This difficult decision is a result of sustained poor ratings performance and significant financial losses over the past three years despite the substantial financial and human resources we invested."

Yashima Azilove of parent company Radio One told the local ABC affiliate: "We know urban radio. We're in Houston, the combination seemed like a winning one."

As Billboard points out, it wasn't all good news. The station also laid off 47 employees as a result of the transition.
