RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, March 30, 2023 |
Cumulus Media's Heritage Country WYZB-FM in Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL, rebrands as "Y1055 - The Best Country." The station, formerly known as "NASH FM 105.5," will continue to play the biggest Country hits including Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton and more. The rebrand celebrates the rebuilding of the radio station from the ground up, with a new transmitter and antenna, a new studio, and state-of-the-art processing.
Y1055's weekday lineup includes "Kincaid & Dallas," now heard one hour earlier, from 5-9am, followed by an hour of commercial-free Country music from 9-10am kicked off by local air personality and Y1055 Program Director Hayden Green, who takes the mic from 9am-2pm. Taryn hosts afternoons from 2-7pm, while "Nights With Elaina" airs from 7pm-midnight.
Cumulus Fort Walton Beach-Destin Vice President/Market Manager Ashley Allegretto said, "We are committed to delivering a fresh and exciting listening experience that reflects the tastes and lifestyle of our Emerald Coast community. As Program Director, Hayden Green has the vision and talent to take Y1055 to the next level and we are eager to share that with our passionate and engaged listeners."
Operations Manager Chris Kellogg commented, "It takes a real team to pull all the levers to create radio magic - from a genius engineering crew to the right Program Director and perfect air talent. This day would not have been possible without Ashley's belief in the vision of Y1055."
Y1055 Program Director Hayden Green remarked, "Y1055 is a local station with local people who live and love the Emerald Coast lifestyle. We have taken the very best of everything this station has to offer and given it new life. We're excited to begin a new chapter and we'll keep the promise... Y1055 - The BEST Country."
