101.5 Hank FM Launches in Dayton, OH
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 16, 2014 |
Alpha Media Dayton, OH has launched 101.5 Hank FM (WCLI) which will play iconic hit country music from the 80's, 90's and 2000's -- a format currently not being utilized in the market. While the Miami Valley has several country hit stations, 101.5 Hank FM promises to differentiate itself by playing the iconic artists absent from Dayton radio such as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and Brooks & Dunn.
"The wise decision to add Hank FM in Dayton becomes part of the foundation to help increase our value as a cluster in the market," said Alpha Media Executive VP of Programming Scott Mahalick. "The Icons of Country format connects us to a passionate and underserved audience that continues to grow."
"101.5 Hank FM is being launched because we miss the 'golden era' of country music and we know that a lot of people in Dayton do too," said Program Director Brad Waldo. "There are some great stations in the area, just none that are playing what we play."
The station launches with 10,000 commercial free songs.
