Following the acquisition of their Albany GA cluster from Cumulus Media, First Media Services has relaunched Country “104.5 Nash-FM” WKAK Albany as “Georgia 104.5“.

WKAK will be anchored in mornings by SuiteRadio’s Bud & Broadway marking the show’s nineteenth affiliate.

The change marks the third brand for WKAK in its history as a Country station. It was “K-Country 104.5” until assuming Cumulus’ “Nash-FM” identity in May 2013. First Media Services closed on its acquisition of the cluster at the end of 2020 with this rebranding marking the first significant change since taking over.

Mornings in Georgia are about to get a lot funnier with the addition of The Bud and Broadway Morning Show to the on-air lineup on 104.5 WKAK as of Thursday April 8th.

Bud Ford and Jerry Broadway said, “We launched our show a mere 85 miles from Albany in Dothan, Al.  We love the area and the people there and are very excited to be a part of this station and this community!”

SuiteRadio COO Pat Fant was quick to point out “The Bud and Broadway Show is the funniest team on country radio today. Programmers get a super show while owners and GMs enjoy the added value of having a funnier bottom line. That is a win-win!”

“You only need to listen for a few minutes to figure out why Bud and Broadway are the fastest growing morning show in all of syndicated radio” added Rowdy Yates, Suite Radio Chief Talent Wrangler. “I’m also quite impressed with their interaction on the local level not only with the audience but the stations and their clients.”

First Media South, President, Rick Lambert said; “I was familiar with The Bud and Broadway Show from their huge success in St. Louis. During the planning phase of putting together The All-New Georgia 104.5, we knew that we needed a great morning show and one that’s funny. Bud and Broadway certainly check those boxes and we look forward to a great partnership as we launch The All-New Georgia 104.5 today!”
