The Remarkably Improved WYZB/Ft. Walton Beach
• It’s a whole new day for Cumulus Country WYZB/Ft. Walton Beach-Destin, FL, starting with a rebranding from NASH FM 105.5 to… wait for it… Y1055 — The Best Country. But the enhancements don’t end there — the rebranding celebrates the rebuilding of the radio station from the ground up, complete with a new transmitter and antenna, a new studio, and state-of-the-art processing.
Y1055 launches the next generation of great Country music entertainment with a weekday lineup that includes Kincaid & Dallas, now heard one hour earlier, from 5-9am, followed by an hour of commercial-free Country from 9-10am, kicked off by Y1055 PD Hayden Green, who rolls until 2pm, followed by Taryn in afternoon drive and Nights With Elaina with Elaina Smith from 7-midnight.
Surveying all these changes, Ashley Allegretto, VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Fort Walton Beach/Destin, said, “We are committed to delivering a fresh and exciting listening experience that reflects the tastes and lifestyle of our Emerald Coast community. As Program Director, Hayden Green has the vision and talent to take Y1055 to the next level and we are eager to share that with our passionate and engaged listeners.”
OM Chris Kellogg commented, “It takes a real team to pull all the levers to create radio magic — from a genius engineering crew to the right Program Director and perfect air talent. This day would not have been possible without Ashley’s belief in the vision of Y1055.” PD Hayden Green remarked, “Y1055 is a local station with local people who live and love the Emerald Coast lifestyle. We have taken the very best of everything this station has to offer and given it new life. We’re excited to begin a new chapter and we’ll keep the promise… Y1055 — The BEST Country!”
