12/16: 94.9’s Bullish future with the Braves

In possibly the worst-kept format change secret in recent Atlanta history, soft rock Lite 94.9’s switch to country station 94.9/The Bull is looking more and more like a reality.

The biggest evidence is the www.bullatlanta.com Web site, which looks like it’s ready to go and is the same template used on other Bull country stations owned by Clear Channel in other cities. And it appears the Braves will leave what used to be 96rock and air on the Bull instead in 2007. It even has a banner on the site saying “Now the Braves Play Here.”

There’s also a note saying “Ride the Bull: Tell us what you think: Call the Bull Horn Comment Line at 404-879-5650.” The number’s not set up yet. But you can sign up to be part of the “Bull Force” email list here.

As noted earlier, the demise of Lite also means the departure of veteran jock Steve Goss and morning hosts Randy and Spiff. If you want to wish the pair farewell, they’ll be finishing up the Make-a-Wish telethon drive at Atlantic Station today from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the market square area. I may stop by to take a photo or two.

I don’t know when Clear Channel will officially unveil the new station. Will they “stunt” for a few days after Christmas and launch after the first of the year or start immediately after Christmas is over?

And there are rumors on www.radio-info.com, we might be gettin’ Moby back. Currently, he’s syndicating his own show and is heard on stations on the outskirts of metro Atlanta. This would be quite a return for Moby after his unsuccessful run on Z93 and getting ousted a few years ago off Kicks. Moby declined to comment about his own status there but said he’d love to see Kicks and Eagle get stomped.

I'm running out of radio stations to listen to in the car; guess I'd better stock up on CDs for the car. I'm def not listening to Moby; he's a jerk. I'm loyal to Rhubarb Jones at Eagle 106.7..he's a WG grad and Dallas McCade lives in/near Monroe..my hometown hometown.
