Garth Brooks Just Bought Nashville’s Beloved Indie Radio Station

Garth Brooks’ Sevens Network has agreed to buy the 101.1 FM frequency used by Nashville independent station Lightning 100, pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Brooks plans to turn the frequency into a country music channel. Lightning 100, currently broadcasting as WRLT-FM, is expected to move to 106.3 FM and 102.5 HD3 after approval; it will remain on 100.1 for now. Brooks said the project would bring country music together.
