From All Access Net News:

94.9 Lite FM/Atlanta Flips To Country As "The Bull"

As ALL ACCESS tipped last week (NET NEWS 12/15), CLEAR CHANNEL has made yet another format flip in ATLANTA, taking AC WLTM (94.9 LITE FM) to Country as WUBL "94.9 THE BULL" at Noon ET TODAY (12/18). The first hour started off with ALAN JACKSON's "Chattahoochee," followed by SUGARLAND's "Something More" and TIM MCGRAW's "Something Like That." The station will also carry BRAVES baseball, moving over from sister Active Rock WKLS (PROJECT 9-6-1).

From me: WLTM has less than half the rating it had ten months ago. WLTM is currently a little behind Cox AC competitor WSB-FM.

www.radioandrecords.com/radiomonitor/news/format/ac/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003523619 says Clear Channel may turn the "Lite" back on in Atlanta by changing WVWA 96.7 from its Spanish Contemporary simulcast with WWVA. WWVA is appears in the Atlanta ratings but WVWA isn't listed, so I don't know how good a signal WVWA has. The next Atlanta ratings come out tomorrow.

96.7 has a very week signal. It targets the south Atlanta metro. Several formats have come and gone on that frequency.

Guess they did switch 96.7 as www.peach949.com leads to their new site. No idea if WVWA ever streamed over the internet, but this new Lite fm works with this link:

mms://a1426.l3170423140.c31704.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1426/31704/v0001/reflector:23140

Hopefully, the station will still broadcast AT10.

I know - I barely get the signal in Vinings.

98.5 has now picked up Delilah!

I wish B98.5 would've either picked up John Tesh or even brought back Rebecca Stevens, who used to do nights on B up until a few years ago.
