Well, Peach and Wild are still options for 96.1 (the latter especially). I don't foresee Jack and The Lake coming to Atlanta.
Well, looks like we are going to see a big shuffle soon. This could possibly rectify some of the changes that occurred during the Fall 2006 Clear Channel shuffle.

Outside of RadioInsight.com for Domain Registration (one of the new domains was for a Peach Revival), I have no sources.
Everything is speculation, although my prediction would place the change on a timeline between this friday and the tuesday after Labor Day. Who knows: we could be waiting for the change until after Christmas.

Here's what I think will happen......
Beginning on September 21st, all CCAtlanta stations will run the exact same feed of the iHeartRadio music festival, then will come out of music festival with the new formats:
92.3 Spanish
94.9- Country
96.1 Peach or WiLD
105.3 Rock
105.7/96.7 WILD or Peach.
I thought iHeart Radio broadcast and festival was only overnights. So what are they going to do, play the Festival for the few hours it airs Friday night, then have normal music all day Saturday on their stations then switch back to the Festival Saturday night then pop in with the new format Sunday morning? I guess, now that I think of it, it does make some sense for just switching stations around this could make sense. After all, when they flipped 96.7 and 105.7, they didn't do anything special at all in between.
I also saw some speculation that the world is supposed to end on September 21, 2012. I came across that news when I looked up the calendar on google for September 21 to see what day the Festival actually started on this year. I'm just wondering if any of these things here are actually going to happen or what's really going on here. This thread topic got to 11 pages super quick, but is all this news legit, or is it all speculated hype mixed with a bit of coincidental evidence that got people a little too excited and hopeful? I guess we'll just have to wait and see... but for some reason I somewhat have doubts.

UPDATE: www.961Jack.com, www.961ThePeach.com, www.961Wild.com, and www.TheLakeAtlanta.com have also been registered. I don't think any of these will actually be 96.1's format but CC knows all ears on on them.
One thing for sure is that PROJECT will more than likely no longer be on 96.1. My bets are they will be shifting to 105.3 @ www.project1053.com since this website is redirecting to another CC rock station. The new registered domains all redirect to I-Heart's website.
If WiLD were to flip to 96.1, www.wildatlanta.com would still be the online address.
The toss up is between www.ESPNDeportesAtlanta.com and ElPatron.

If CC planned to do away with Patron, why would they have just hired a prominent PD for the station? That is what makes this all totally confusing.
I'm wondering if there is a shuffle, that it could be something much simpler; such as Project and WiLD swap frequencies. Or, perhaps WiLD goes to 96.1, Project to 105.3, and El Patron to 105.7, with Deportes to 96.7.

what makes u think WILD wouldn't stay on 105.7/96.7?carolinaradio said:

I Think they did it to mess with all of our minds, and throw us off.
I would love for ATL to get a Jack station, but I can guarantee that it won't. At least not on an intown class C-something.ShawtyBlack_ATL said:
CC could use both 961wild.com and wildatlanta.com to direct to the WiLD website.
Is there really that much sales opportunity for Spanish sports? There has never been on AM...
If Patron survives, it will be due to billings and not ratings.
There has been some talk about Radio One buying 102.3 and taking it silent so they can boost 102.5. Any update on that? That would knock out Patron's only real competition, and make a move to 105.7 make even more sense.
Because Wild is kicking Project's butt and needs a better signal, particularly intown and on the south/east side.ShawtyBlack_ATL said:
Rumor is that the 102.3 deal went dead because Radio One couldn't come up with the money to pay Davis. Supposedly it isn't going to happen anytime soon......
If you look at Radio Ones stock:
http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/ROIA/tab/2
Their stock is ugly. But looking at the financials from Wells Fargo's view :
http://www.radio-one.com/2012/03/21/wells-fargo-bond-analysts-do-the-math-on-radio-one/
The best I can tell with a quick look (I do not follow Radio one): They are making some money (Wells projects to be around $13 million) but the all of the cash will go to pay 12.5%/15% senior subordinated notes with the first payment due November 15, 2012. I do not think they are going to buy a station and shut it down unless they can recover all the cash they had to pay before Nov 15.
IMHO if they ever get the debt under control this could be a good stock (if you have years to wait).

I predict Variety Hits will land on 96.1.
It would be a perfect choice given the following:
--106.7's recent format flip
--92.9's impending format flip
--98.5's evolution toward a borderline Hot AC sound, making some of their legacy listeners ripe for the picking
--close proximity to 97.1 on the dial but much better signal inside the perimeter
I highly doubt it will flip to Mainstream AC as "Peach." Mainstream AC launches in large/major markets are very few & far between at the moment.
The Active Rock format will do just fine on 105.3.

Alright here, one final time is what I am betting my bottom dollar on:
92.3/96.1-HD2- El Patron
94.9- WiLD 94.9
96.1- Peach961 "Where It's All About Variety with 5,000 Songs In A Row".....
96.7/105.7- The Bull Atlanta
105.3- Project 105-3
Country cannot stay where it is. A new music format is a given. After WLKO's numbers came out (even if their weren't any commercials for the first half of the diary,) CC is convinced that they finally have a winning concept. They decided on that format over their own Baby Jesus, Rush Limbaugh in Boston. Variety Hits, Talk Radio, News, and CHR is just the evolution and comings of FM radio, like it or not. Get over it.

I personally dislike the new junk they call Country, but the format can deliver some money demos. It might have the highest billings in the CC Atlanta cluster. County will never have the 6+ ratings in Atlanta but cash counts especially if you have the debt that CC has.
