99X: Good riddance!

This weekend the news broke that Atlanta's much ballyhooed "alternative" music station, 99X(crement), will finally bite the dust in the wee hours of January 25 and be replaced by its sister station, Top 40 Q100. In the process, Q will go from 12,500 watts at 100.5 to 96,600 watts on 99.7, increasing their signal eight-fold.>

Good riddance to this piece of shit

Not being the type of guy to let the opportunity to dance on the grave of that awful, dirty, negative "genre" (fad) of flannel-wearing, unbathed, nasty drug addicts and their shitty "music," I offer a hearty laugh and fart goodbye to Rick Stacy's mistake, made October 26, 1992 when he flipped Top 40 Power 99 to 99X, leaving Atlanta without a true Top 40 station for nearly eight years.

Still fondly remembered as the southeastern United States' #1 CHR station

January 23, 2001 - present
Finally getting the signal it deserves, and bringing Top 40 music back to 99.7

100.5 sucks now and will just suck LOUDER with a better signal.

Can they atone for it and play Muse locally? I'm not holding my breath. And i probably wont' know anyway, as I refuse to listen to the excrement that passes for "top 40" now--it's iPod only for me!

>$120k household income, lost as a listener. Congrats, Cumulus!

Atlanta, enjoy the giant sucking sound!
