Flipping Out:
Loud Media Classic Country WTNQ/La Follette, TN has flipped to Classic Hits as “104.9 Lake FM” following an all-Christmas tease (CAT 11/23/20). The station’s time in the Knoxville-market’s Country battle was short-lived, having flipped from Oldies to Classic Country last June (CAT 6/29/20).
Signal KHLR/Little Rock, AR has flipped to Sports as “106.7 The Buz2,” with call letters changing to KBZU, becoming the second Sports station in the cluster. It flipped from AC to Country as "106.7 The Ride" in 2015 (CAT 8/13/15). The station released all on-air staff – Doug Kramer, AJ Parker and Ashley King – in November in favor of a music-only approach (CAT 11/16/20). In the most recent Nielsen Audio CDM Nov. 2020 ratings, KHLR ranked third among the market’s three Country outlets and No. 11 overall with a 2.1 share Persons 12+ (CAT 12/11/20).
Forever South Classic Country WLLI-AM/Jackson, TN and its FM translator at W231BU have flipped to News-Talk as “Tennessee Patriot Network” and has changed its call letters to WTJF-AM. Additionally, Country WZGY/Dyer, TN is now simulcasting the News-Talk format as WTJF-FM. It’s a return to the format for WLLI, which flipped to Classic Country in 2017 as WTJS-AM (CAT 1/18/17).
