FM ("'''All the hits. Q100'''", 100.5
MHz ) is an
Atlanta Radio Station that plays a diverse range of
Top 40 music, including
Rock ,
Pop , &
Hip-hop . It is owned and operated by
Susquehanna Radio , from the same building as its other Atlanta holding,
WNNX FM (99X).
Q100 has been in
Metro Atlanta ,
License d to
College Park only since early
2001 . Until then, it was in eastern
Alabama as country music station ('''WHMA-FM'''), licensed to
Anniston .
Susquehanna originally proposed that the station be licensed to
Sandy Springs , and remain at 100,000
Watt s
ERP (
Class C ). An agreement had been made with the nearest
Co-channel station,
WSSL-FM in
Upstate South Carolina for it to move further away, however this never happened, and the
FCC eventually denied the request for this reason. The second proposal was approved due to both a change in
City Of License , and in the class of station from C1 (up to 100 kW) down to C3 (up to 25 kW) to avoid WSSL-FM.
The move left two new radio stations in Alabama, but forced
WGHR and
W264AE off the air in the Atlanta area. The FCC later upgraded the new station from a 3 kW class C3 to a 27 kW class C2, and the station moved from the
WZGC FM
Tower to its own, then to another for the upgrade. Neither tower is the same as
Sister Station WNNX FM has listed.
While the station out performed the earlier 3,000 watt signal (The Bert Show in particular), the station's ratings were affected by the poor signal coverage in Atlanta's affluent northern suburbs, where a large portion of the WWWQ's target demographic lives. On
October 24 ,
2005 at 5:00 PM, the station increased its signal from 3,000 watts to 12,500 watts to give it a more competitive edge in the market.
This station is now broadcasting in
IBOC digital radio, using the
HD Radio system from
IBiquity . The Station also broadcast live, worldwide, and 24/7 at
