Cox Repositions Its Country WNCB Birmingham
Cox Media Group has repositioned its WNCB Birmingham, Ala., from “New Country 97.3” to “97-3 the Buck,” which the company describes as “a lifestyle radio station featuring new country songs and attitude.” The Buck is streaming live here.
The station picks up the Birmingham-based syndicated Rick & Bubba show for afternoons and will be adding local air talent in other dayparts in the coming months. Justin Case remains PD. He also programs sister country outlet WZZK.
Radio-Info.com’s Alabama discussion board readers are talking about the change here.
