As first tipped off in our 3/23 Domain Insight, Townsquare Media has flipped Hot AC “Star 101.7” WBEI Reform/Tuscaloosa AL to Alternative “Alt 101.7” today.
The new format fills the Alternative opening in the market created by the loss of AAA “Birmingham Mountain Radio” on 97.5 W248BO Tuscaloosa until Townsquare took over operation of the trqnslator in December 2017 and flipped it to Classic Hits “Nick 97.5“.
Brand Manager Meg Summers remains in place overseeing Alt 101.7. The syndicated Kidd Kraddick Morning Show is dropped with the change. New WQRR call letters are pending.
