Another Cumulus Country station is switching brands.
102.9 KTOP-FM St. Marys/Topeka KS shifted from the Nash brand to the Nash Icon brand on Monday as “102.9 Nash Icon“. Along with the brand change, KTOP-FM drops America’s Morning Show and Nash Nights Live in favor of the network Nash Icon hosts based at 95.5 WSM-FM Nashville.
In the Spring 2015 Nielsen Audio ratings, KTOP-FM’s 3.1 share placed it well behind now-Alpha Media’s combo of market leading Country 94.5 WIBW and Classic Country “Country Legends 106.9” KTPK with an 8.1 and 7.2 share respectively.
The shift of KTOP-FM follows identical moves made earlier this year in Columbia SC and Kingsport TN.
