I'm thrilled that listeners nationwide can now experience this station again anytime and anyplace."

"96 Rock is a legendary brand," added Senior Vice President of Programming Meg Stevens. "Multiple generations grew up with 96 Rock in their lives and it was a staple to the Atlanta community. Having it back will allow new generations to enjoy the station on a digital platform while allowing us to engage the audience in new cutting edge ways."
