96 Rock/Atlanta Resurrected

• After a 15-year hiatus, iHeartMedia Atlanta announced the return of the legendary 96 Rock — this time in handy portable digital form, available at 96rock.com, iHeartRadio.com, the iHeartRadio app, etc.

The newly resurrected 96 Rock will stream a wide variety of Classic Rock from artists like AC/DC, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Metallica… you get the idea. The station will also feature some of the familiar voices that helped make 96 Rock a legendary station, including Larry Wachs, Tim Rhodes and Willard.

“Righting a wrong has never felt better… you’re welcome,” said Drew Lauter, President of iHeartMedia Atlanta. “96 Rock was an iconic rock station in Atlanta for decades, serving the community with some of the best rock and roll ever recorded. I’m thrilled that listeners nationwide can now experience this station again anytime and anyplace.”

SVP of Programming Meg Stevens said, “96 Rock is a legendary brand. Multiple generations grew up with 96 Rock in their lives and it was a staple to the Atlanta community. Having it back will allow new generations to enjoy the station on a digital platform while allowing us to engage the audience in new, cutting-edge ways.”
