Garth Brooks Buying Nashville Radio Spot to Create New Country Station

Garth Brooks’ Sevens Network plans to buy the Nashville radio frequency currently used by WRLT-FM, known as Lightning 100, and launch a country station featuring both contemporary and traditional artists. The project also promises more airtime for female performers. Lightning 100 is expected to continue broadcasting after moving to another frequency, making room for the new station while preserving the long-running adult-alternative outlet.
