The new outlet will air all current hit music including songs from a variety of artists including Justin Timberlake, The Weekend, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, and Imagine Dragons.

"The new Hot 94.9 is playing 10,000 songs in a row for Central Arkansas with ten chances at $1,000 dollars every weekday and soon there will be first-ever opportunities to win tickets to live events like Wango Tango and the national iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour," said iHeartMedia Red River Region President Clyde Bass. "Central Arkansas has needed a hit music station that connects listeners with their favorite artists both on-air and backstage, so I'm excited that the new Hot 94.9 is finally here."
