Here is Power 96.1's website.

As expected, looks like Project 9-6-1 will move to 105.3.

105.7/96.7 will likely become home to Patron or will stunt over Labor Day weekend.

How do we know WiLD 105.7/96.7 is dead? The article states Power will be more mainstream than WiLD.

It will have to have a urban lean with a rhythmic touch if it doesn't want to compete with its own sister station lol

Are the WKLS calls flipping over to 105.3 as well? That would mark an end of an era for the WKLS calls on 96.1

My reliable source says that 105.7 will do a loop stunt on Saturday, and into Early Monday. Then debut new format.

Mami Chula is making the move over, as well as other DJs. My source says that Kidd Chris is in fact being retained.

Source says The Pattern moves to 92.3 and WUBL HD-3

Power is being modeled after Channel in Charlotte.

I am sure they will eventually add the CHR version of AT 40 on weekends. Most CC CHRs play AT40 these days. Star plays the Hot AC version Sunday nights 8-midnight.

 

[lovejamminoldies]

New format for 105.7 then?

 

[ccinsider]

Under the "Atlanta Radio" tab: 105.7/96.7 WiLD is still listed there, but I am told that this is a head fake.

I am still hearing Project 961???? Why another CHR?????

Because there is a need for one.

OK,I guess I don't know what CHR is anymore, I thought Star, and Q100 were???? I just want to hear 70's again>>>Is this not going to be exactly like WILD???

CHR is what we need. Fast paced and NO MATCHBOX 20!!!!!

Mandatory staff meeting was held at 8am this morning. With the signal downgrade, Project goes Premium Choice from 7-5am, though no immediate lay-offs have been announced. Project 96.1 as well as the Cox Cluster has just gone live on iHeartRadio.

The only comparable signal to 96.1, 94.9, is not changing. 105.3 and 105.7 target specific parts of the market. 96.7 just reaches the market.

Another heritage rock station killed to support the bewildering addiction to CHuRban music. Crazy. Disgusting.
