With Q100 moving to 99.7 this week, the speculation in Atlanta centers on what will end up on 100.5. Based on domain registrations made this week, we’re fully expecting “Rock 100.5” to be the new station.
Cumulus has registered Rock1005.com, Rock100Atlanta.com, Rock100Atl.com, and 1005Rock.com along with .net variations of all. All of those domains are pointing to the site of sister “Warm 98” WRRM Cincinnati. This is a similar tactic to that done by sister WWFT Indianapolis a few weeks ago prior to its change to AC.
Crosstown 96.1 WKLS was known as “96 Rock” from 1974 until November 2006, when it relaunched as “Project 9-6-1“. This helps verify the rumors that former WKLS morning team “The Regular Guys” will do mornings on 100.5.
Please keep a similar format to 99.7. Atlanta does not have enough variety of radio stations which is surprising being that it is a major city and has a music industry. Do we really need another station that plays more Daughtry or Justin or plays an old Fergie song claiming it to be new? 99.7 was a great alternative.
