One month after moving its Spanish CHR format from 105.3 to 105.7, iHeartMedia’s “Z105.7” WBZY Canton/Atlanta is now simulcasting on 96.7 WRDG Union City.
The simulcast completes the three station format shuffle that saw the Spanish CHR format and WBZY call letters move from the southwest side of the market 105.3 signal to the northeast side 105.7 on April 20 replacing Alternative “Alt 105.7“. On May 4, the Hip Hop format of “96.7 The Beat” moved from WRDG to 105.3 (now with 105.7’s former WRDA call letters).
The 105.7 and 96.7 signals have previously simulcasted three other times. In 2000-2001 they were Rock AC “Mix 105.7“. After breaking apart for a few years the signals became Spanish CHR “Viva 105.7/96.7” in 2005-2006. They came together again from 2010 through 2016 as Rhythmic AC “The Groove“, Rhythmic CHR “Wild 105.7/96.7“, and Alternative “Radio 105.7“.
iHeartMedia Atlanta announced today that Z105.7, #1 Para Hits de Hoy, will now also broadcast on 96.7 FM, effective immediately. The signal expansion will reach thousands of new listeners in the Atlanta community, allowing a larger audience to enjoy its Spanish Contemporary Hit Radio programming.
Z105.7 (Área Metro) y Z96.7 (Área Sur) will broadcast popular hit songs from top Hispanic artists including Daddy Yankee, Anuel AA, Ozuna, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Karol G, Romeo Santos, Marc Anthony and more. Listeners can also tune in to hear their favorite top-rated on-air personalities such as Enrique Santos, Jessi Dee and others.
“The 105.7 FM simulcast on 96.7 FM will create full market coverage for Spanish Contemporary music and programming,” said Orlando Rosa, Z105.7 y Z96.7 Program Director. “This allows us to serve the Hispanic community in the North and South and the larger signal will also allow more fans to wake up and enjoy Enrique Santos’s show as well as other fan-favorite programming.”
