As already discussed, they’re not flipping Z. 6+ doesn’t matter.Maybe turn WBZY into a semi satellite or swap with another spanish station owned by iHeart

I’m surprised they didn’t take this opportunity to change the calls for the Beat. I’ve noticed the new Power sounds very generic and the playlist is super tight. Some of the same songs playing twice an hour. Reminds me of 95-5 the Beat when it first came on air. 10,000 songs in a row playing the same 20 songs over and over except they have commercials here. Feels like they’re rotating the top 10 songs right now and sprinkling in some 2000s/2010s songs every now and then. No recurrents. I guess they have to order new imaging.iHeart filed to swap the calls yesterday:

Radio 105.7’s ghost lives on with WRDG!
Promoting the premiere of T-Swift’s new album that just dropped at midnight. All of iHeart’s CHRs and some hot ACs have done the same. Only temporary.um, why is Power 105.3 logo black and white??
That makes sense! I noticed thatPromoting the premiere of T-Swift’s new album that just dropped at midnight. All of iHeart’s CHRs and some hot ACs have done the same. Only temporary.
Call letters only matter for ad buyers who see them on a spreadsheet. They want to ensure the buyers currently buying Beat and Power continue to do so on the new frequencies so need consistency with the format.I’m surprised they didn’t take this opportunity to change the calls for the Beat. I
Power has switched from being locally programmed to one of iHeart's national logs with the frequency swap. Only differences will be in mornings when 105.3 has Jubal.’ve noticed the new Power sounds very generic and the playlist is super tight. Some of the same songs playing twice an hour.

iHeart could try to move them to another frequency. When the station that is now 105.3 was sold to Clear Channel, it had just moved from being a Class A at 105.5 with the old WYAI callsign that 104.1 (then out of LaGrange) used back in the day when Y106 was doing the twin-tower thing.I was thinking the same thing. The only think I could find was this podunk 6000-watt station out of Tignall, Georgia WSGC-FM 105.3 MHz - Tignall, GA
Why doesnt iHM just buy em out?
So, iHeart is using “Power” as a Rhythmic brand, yet the Atlanta version is Mainstream. Could’ve used that as a flanker.Call letters only matter for ad buyers who see them on a spreadsheet.

You can see the log similarities here:
The national playlist matches exactly what is playing on our Power. This playlist looks more mainstream than rhythmic. Not sure if this was mentioned before but would it be smarter to move the format more of an adult direction like Hot AC? Not that I want it to. I personally prefer mainstream top 40 over Hot AC.So, iHeart is using “Power” as a Rhythmic brand, yet the Atlanta version is Mainstream. Could’ve used that as a flanker.
IIRC 105.7 also is heard on 96.7, WBZW:I check the WBZY signal they don't cover the southern gaps on Atlanta suburbs but I would be suprising how parts of the northern Atlanta might not get the OTA signal unless u stream on iHeart in terms of ratings.
Nope. Simulcast split in November 2021 for two months of Xmas music, then flipped to El Patron 2.0 in January ‘22.IIRC 105.7 also is heard on 96.7, WBZW:
What a waste of a signal. Could've put something different like an AC or Adult Hits. People aren’t going to be tuning in to 105.3.Call letters only matter for ad buyers who see them on a spreadsheet.

Apparently they want to go after the V. My best guess current morning show is just a "holder" till they can get Frank Ski legally. I hope iHeart realizes: with is that with all recoding studio history in Atlanta, a generic morning show without a lot of local segments will not cut it here.What a waste of a signal. Could've put something different like an AC or Adult Hits. People aren’t going to be tuning in to 105.3.
Unless it swaps and moves 4 spots up to 105.7.What a waste of a signal. Could've put something different like an AC or Adult Hits. People aren’t going to be tuning in to 105.3.

Not necessarily. There are quite a few iHeart custom stations still on Mediabase as individual reporters.If so, at some point, Power will be dropped by Billboard and Mediabase as chart reporters, leaving Q as the only Top 40 reporter in Atlanta.
