Cumulus Rebrands Three Country Outlets as NASH FM

Cumulus rebrands three of its Country stations to NASH FM stations and three additional stations launched Friday as NASH Icon stations. The new NASH stations are KTOP-FM/Topeka KS, KATC-FM/Colorado Springs and KBUL-FM/Reno NV. These changes bring the number of NASH branded stations to 40 and the number of NASH Icon stations to 20, including the NASH Icon station WSM-FM, which debuted as the number one Country out in Nashville in September 2014's PPM results.

In addition, "America's Morning Show" will debut on KTOP on Monday, November 3 at 6am. The new NASH Icon stations are WORC-FM/Worcester MA and WOGT-FM/Chattanooga TN, both formerly programmed as Classic Hits, and WVLK-FM/Lexington, KY, which ends its simulcast with News/Talk station WVLK-AM.

In a hat tip to Country, megastar Garth Brooks' arrival in Lexington today for the first of two concerts, WVLK-FM launched this morning as "Garth 101.5" at 6am and will become NASH Icon at 5pm. The new NASH Icon station will broadcast outside Lexington's Rupp Arena tonight at Brooks' first Lexington concert.

Cumulus Executive VP/Content and Programming John Dickey said, "NASH continues to take the country world by storm. NASH captures the essence of what it is to be country and NASH Icon is the most exciting new format in radio. Our new NASH and NASH Icon stations are thrilled to be formally associated with these brands."
