With Zebulon's 92.5 expanding their coverage to class C3 status to cover a nice chunk of metro Atlanta, we now have an option to hear Moby in the Morning. I was getting a listenable signal on the top end perimeter the other night. I would say most of Kick's core listeners can actually hear Moby again if they so choose thanks to 92.5 and 106.1fm.

Moby's growing Atlanta coverage

106.1 and 92.5 have poorly marginal signals in Atlanta, and that's being nice.
92.5 covers Peachtree City(as does 106.1) and the very south part of Atlanta. However, 106.1's signal comes nowhere near Atlanta.

106.1 has a 60 dbu signal over Gwinnette county.....that's 600,000 of Atlanta in the 1 milivolt contour!! I can hear it, without any special effort, over at least 50% of the Atlanta area.
92.5 is a marginal signal north of I-20 but offers a fantastic signal for the southside counties, including the coveted Fayette and Coweta. There are 700,000 Atlantans in the 92.5 60 DBU contour.(Most radios can receive a station in the 60 DBU contour.)
IF Paul Stone were to finalize the 107.1 upgrade....AND....if he added Moby.....the coverage between the three frequencies would be aprox 3.5 million.
When the GM at KHX is blown out.....and all the insiders there think that's on the horizon....then KHX will be buying Moby and eliminating this pesky little problem. And you must admit....Caddy is the best morning talent they have ever had....but it remains to be seen how the numbers will fall out.(It is usually the kiss of death if I think they are good)

Yesterday morning, I was in Sandy Springs, and the scan button in my car stopped at 92.5. I was a little surprised, but I guess that was because of the atmospheric conditions at the time.
92.5 is not going to be a full blown Atlanta station... I don't think he is trying to be. But let me tell you what it IS going to be. A monster signal and local radio station for all of South Metro. There is no longer any station that covers Clayton, Fayette, Coweta, Carroll, Heard, Meriwether, Spalding, Henry, Troup, etc. Well 92.5 does just that... and more. He will have listeners up in the metro area, but will kill in the South Metro area. And take a look at how much of Kick's audience is in that area! What happens when the country listeners in those counties start listening to 92.5 and Moby? Even if they don't switch 100% but share their time between the two... Kick's numbers drop enough to make a big difference! Taylor has a point... if Moby starts hurting Kick's (and don't laugh, with 92.5, 106.1, and just one good northside signal it will happen) then ABC will just try to hire him. Maybe not in Atlanta, you know egos and such, but what if they offered him a great morning gig in some other big city? I hope it happens... and then he gets the great feeling of telling them NO!
Watch out for 92.5... it will end up being one of the biggest things to happen to South Metro radio in a long long time.

I think we have some confusion within the posts about which 106.1 has a chunk of metro coverage. The 106.1 that I am talking about is licensed to Toccoa with its 60dbu signal blanketing Gwinnett County. Northeast metro gets great coverage. With most morning show listening in cars the signals of 92.5 and 106.1 will reach most suburbanites that drive into the city. In-town coverage with be non-existant but kicks listeners are in the suburbs. Cobb is the metro county with the weakest coverage from either signal and i have the FCC 60dbu contours here.

I am talking about 106.1 WNGC and its north and east metro signal not 106.1 WSTh.

I get 106.1 perfect in Gwinnett cty. but nothing on 92.5 and I'm N.E. of Atlanta. I don't listen to Country much as I produced Moby way back when and had enough.

You must have a crappy radio if you can't get 106.1...I've kept a decent pickup of WNGC as far down as midtown Atlanta. Yeah, it got a little staticky but it was still there. And not to nitpick, but isn't WSTH on 107.1, as in South 107 out of Rome? And I get WESC pretty strong on 92.5 most days...

Nope, WSTH is on 106.1 licensed to Alexander City, Alabama.
They are on translator 107.1 FM in Montgomery

Good lord, dont we have enough redneck country radio? Moby was and still is one of the [*******], [*******]human beings Ive ever encountered. Moby has to cover Atlanta with several smaller signals, WHOO HOOO, his counterparts do it with a clear 100,000 signal. Now think, does all of this hoopla make any sense? Moby, Shmoby, Who cares? lets talk about the big fish, Moby is washed up!
