- History:
- Signed on in
1994 with the same calls, always as "Kiss 102.7" with an upbeat
format. Despite being licensed to a town in Alabama, has
always played to the I-20 corridor towns in Georgia of Bremen,
Tallapoosa and Carrollton. In May 2014, the station received a
permit to change facilities to a location east of the AL/GA line,
with a little less power and a directional antenna. In October
2014 the permit was modified to drop the directional antenna, lower
power from 1.5 to 1 kW while maintaining the same antenna
height. That facility was finally put on the air in the spring
of 2017.
