From R&R today:
Clear Channel CHR/top 40 WKXJ (Kiss FM)/Chattanooga drops the format and begins simulcasting classic country sister WNGA (the Legend). The simulcast will continue until the middle of next week, when the classic country format will permanently reside on WKXJ’s 98.1 FM frequency.
A message on the WKXJ Web site states “As of 10 a.m. June 12, 2007, 98.1 Kiss FM is no longer on the air. We thank you for listening and supporting us over the years.”
The move comes on the heels of Clear Channel’s sale of WNGA’s 97.3 FM frequency, as well as a repeater frequency at 99.3FM, to Three Sisters Broadcasting, which is expected to close next week. Clear Channel also sold oldies WUUS to Three Sisters.

The only thing close to CHR in the area now is a rimshot signal from hot AC WALV Dayton, TN.

WKXJ has a higher rating than sister Active Rock station WRXR, but WKXJ had big drops two seasons in a row. Edit: WKXJ was up significantly in the ratings released today. Edit: 100000watts reports that WKXJ changed call letters to WLND.
