Mainstream Alternative is back in Atlanta, as Clear Channel announced the debut of Radio 105.7, WWVA-FM. The former Hip-Hop station will also offer expanded coverage on 96.7 FM.
Radio 105.7 will offer listeners a new place for music discovery and artists including the Foo Fighters, Muse, Mumford & Sons, Green Day, Dave Matthews, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Keys, Linkin Park, The Lumineers, Coldplay, Weezer and more. The station will also feature highly interactive hosts who are passionate about Atlanta, the music and who will engage with listeners both on-air and via social media, connecting fans with the artists they love through unique VIP experiences, music premieres, intimate specialty shows and other exclusive events across the country.
“Our goal is to offer Atlanta listeners a different genre of music while providing the best programming and listening experience available,” said Matt Scarano, Market President, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment Atlanta. “The area is home to Talk, Hip Hop, Country, Top 40 and Classic Hits formats, but Radio 105.7 will bring fresh alternative music back to Atlanta – which is something our listeners are currently missing.”
