By Sean Ross, Executive Editor of Music & Programming

Chattanooga, Tenn., is one of those markets that has, over the last 20 years, managed to have two Top 40 stations or, just as often, none. Bahakel’s WDOD (96.5 The Mountain) made an unusual Triple-A to Top 40 segue when Clear Channel’s WKXJ (Kiss-FM) was out of commission. The Mountain became a surprise 7-8 share player. And now WKXJ is back as 103.7 Kiss FM.

Chattanooga's Triple-A WDOD is stunting

It's been rumored for more than a week, and now the Bahakel-owned Triple-A "96.5 The Mountain" is "stunting." While it's still playing its usual mix of rock and oldies, its website claims there will be a major announcement on Monday, March 3. Radio-Info board members predict the station will be top 40. That would fill the hole left by Clear Channel's WKXJ "Kiss FM" when it flipped last year. It would also give the market its first 100-kw top 40 in almost 20 years.
