I am listening to Radio 105.7, and they are playing some good music.
It now plays an Alternative Rock format. And, yes, the switch happened yesterday at 11AM. I actually heard it switch formats, and men was it weird the way the format switched.
But, I like Radio 105.7. It is just what Atlanta needed, a decent Alternative Rock station b/c it has been too long. The last time Atlanta had a decent Alternative Rock Station, and many of you'll know, was in August 2012, when Project 961 switched a top 40 station, Power 96.1.
But, like you all have said, CC already had a rythmic top 40 station, Wild 1057/967. Even though it was being broadcasted at a lower power, I think it was still a pretty good and decent station. But, Mami Chula always played a great mix in the evenings and nights. I remember when Mami Chula first came to Atlanta. It was in late 90s/early 2000s; she first started off at Hot 97.5, which later became Hot 107.9. I also remember that 955 the beat had come out as a mainstrem top 40 station, and then later switched to a rhythmic top 40/hip-hop in mid-late 2000s, and Cox media hored Mami Chula to DJ on 955 the beat. Later, Cox threw away the Beat and amde ot a news/talk radio. Because of that move, CC hired Mami Chula to DJ on Wild 1057/967.
Also, even though CC created Power 96.1, it still, at first, did not have as high of ratings as CC hoped it would. But, since Wild 1057/967 is gone, Mami Chula will now DJ on Power 96.1. I think that Power 96.1 will now get higher ratings, only beacause those who listened to Wild will now be forced to listen to Power, and becuase Mami Chula is the most recognized DJ in Atlanta. And, this could also heat up things b/w Q100 and Star 94 (which is starting to sound a little bit more Adult Top 40). Although, I do not think that this will affect B98.5, which was soft rock, then became Adult Contemporary, and was gearing towards more of a Top 40 sound, but now has gone more Adult Contemporary, playing more Adult Hits.
Now that Wild 1057 is Radio 105.7, what about Q100?
And what I mean by that is [email protected]. They are braocasted as a mainstream top 40 station. The only reason that Q100 created this station, and many of you'll know, was b/c of the lauch of Power 96.1. Cumulus thought that b/s CC basically had 2 top 40 stations, that they were feared of losing listeners. But, now since CC threw out Wild, shouldn't Q100 also make a format switch at 97.9, maybe making it a classic hits/oldies station since Atlanta has not had one since Cumulus decided to make 106.7 an all news radio. (maybe calling it Classic 97.9).
But, Radio 105.7 sounds great as well. Although, I think they should reanme themselves Radio1057/967, to let listeners know that they can also be heard on 96.7fm (mainly for those living in the southern suburbs, b/c the 96.7 transmitter is located in Peachtree City). Or they could even maybe call it Radio 105.7 & 96.7 the Project, so as to let listeners know that the Project is somewhat alive. (I remember when Wild 1057 did this; they were Wild 1057 & 967 the Groove, before they became Wild 1057 & 967).
