Reply #5: It's back!! At 97.9. I'm listening now, and it sounds pretty good.

Biggest plus? Organic X on Sunday mornings. Apparently this all happened in April, but I didn't know until I decided to check their website and see how their webcast was going.

I think with the lower profile position on the FM dial, they can play more interesting stuff (if alt rock is your thing, of course). Although, seriously, check out Organic X on Sundays as it is nice mellow stuff.

Quote from their press release:

Loyal listeners will be instantly be familiar with the format and staff of the station. Atlanta native, BJ Kinard, anchors afternoon drive 3-7pm and also maintains Program Director duties. “This is the station that made me want to get into radio. It’s a very exciting time for me and 99X.” says Kinard. 99X station vet, Lewis, is the midday personality from 10am-3pm with Jillian as the night host 7pm to midnight. 99X is bringing back Organic X with Matt “Organic” Jones 7am to 1pm every Sunday.

Programs and features that will continue include “Xposure,” featuring new and breaking artists; “Live X”, live acoustic band performances in the 99X studio attended by listeners; “Freeloaders,” a rewards program for listeners; and “Unplugged in the Park”, a Sunday night concert series including Organic X artists. 99X is looking forward to bringing back all the annual benchmark events it has delivered to Atlanta listeners over the years.

Oh.my.God. They are playing the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now" at this moment. I think I have died and gone to heaven. This is an improved 99X.
