Obama Radio in Athens

Power 100.1 FM
POWER 100.1 . Athens New # 1 Hit music station. (Similar to Star94 - Q100 format)
It's okay, but we get star 94 and Q100 in Athens too. I think 100.1 should be some thing we don't have access to here. The Alternative version of Bulldog 103.7 was an original. They switched the format to classic rock b4 100.1 came on the air. They should have left the format alone until the 100.1 switch took place. We can't get 99X on 97.9 due to the translator for WUGA being on the same freq. I do have a HD radio, but it doesn't lock in much around Athens on 99.7 .

When Fox 97 become Jamz in 2003, Cox used other stations from out of town as the stunt during the weekend. Don't know which stations were used. The stations changed every 30 minutes, with references to something "Peachy" and a WFOX legal ID in between.
Cox stations 95.5 the Beat and 97.1 The River citygrade Athens thanks to their transmitter location in Hall County (along with 104.7 The Fish and True Oldies 106.7). However, the other Atlanta stations do not. This is a good choice, considering Athens is the location of a major university.
As for Magic 102.1...B98.5 does not citygrade Athens. If Cox wanted to, they could turn 102.1 into a full power repeater of B98.5 (and WGAU a repeater of WSB-AM, and so forth). But it seems Cox thinks programming locally is a good idea. Remember...Clear Channel does operate their Newnan stations seperate from their Atlanta ones, even though they are close by (and in the same metro area).

Similar to when New York's last FM country outlet, WYNY, transitioned into CHR WKTU in February 1996, simulcasting sister stations for a week up until the switch, and liners telling listeners "the howdy hits are gone".
