Update 4/17: After 16 days of stunting will All-Beatles, WQTL debuted its new format at 11am today as a Classic Rock/AAA hybrid “106.1 The Path“. Music is rooted in the 70s and early 80’s but reaches into the 60’s and 90’s.
Describe the format? Well, The Beatles and Bob Dylan changed the course of popular music, right? The Path is all of the music that influenced them, the music that’s been influenced by them and of course plenty of Beatles and Bob Dylan.
The first hour of The Path consisted of:
Rolling Stones – Start Me Up
Emerson, Lake & Palmer – From The Beginning
Wallflowers – One Headlight
Bob Dylan – Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Harry Nilsson – Everybody’s Talkin’
U2 – Two Hearts Beat As One
Stevie Ray Vaughn – Little Wing
Jimi Hendrix – Little Wing
George Harrison – Wah-Wah
Steely Dan – Black Cow
Don Henley – Boys Of Summer
Original Report 4/2: Opus Broadcasting Oldies “Q106.1” WQTL Tallahassee, FL has begun stunting with all-Beatles music.
1061ThePath.com was registered anonymously last week and is already on the same Triton Media servers used by Opus’ stations in Tallahassee. Based on the lack of a Classic Rock station in the market following Cumulus’ “Gulf 104” WGLF moving to Classic Hits last fall that seems like a probable format destination.
Opus also operates Variety Hits “99.9 Hank-FM” WANK, Country “103.1 The Wolf” WWOF, and CHR “Hot 104.9” WHTF in Tallahassee.
