Local Radio Still Rocking in Alabama!

Forget podcasts for a minute, because WQSB 105.1 (modern country), WKXX 102.9 (classic country), and Power 107.5 (Christian) are proving that good ol' fashioned radio is alive and kicking in Alabama! These stations, part of the Yellowhammer News Radio Network, are connecting with listeners of all ages and giving back to the community.

Family Tradition and Digital Innovation

These stations have been family-owned and operated since the late 1940s! Pat Courington Jr., Jenny Courington, Sales Manager Ted McCreless, and Program Director Barry Galloway are keeping the legacy strong, expanding their reach across Marshall, DeKalb, and Etowah counties. WQSB, the main country station, blends current hits with awesome local content. "The Barry and Holli Show" is a huge draw, packed with music, celeb news, and listener call-ins – and it's even available as a podcast! They're seriously embracing the digital age with livestreams and social media.

Community Heroes

These stations aren't just about the tunes; they're all about giving back! They've snagged multiple Alabama Broadcasters Association awards, proving their dedication to the community. Their St. Jude Children's Hospital Radiothon recently raised over $226,000! Plus, they host events like Woofstock, a local dog food drive. The Radiothon, spearheaded by WQSB, involves all three stations, showcasing how teamwork makes the dream work!

Classic Country Comeback

WKXX 102.9 is bringing back the good old days! Since switching to a classic country format in January 2023, they're playing legends like George Strait and Merle Haggard. Hosted by ABBY Award-winning Shane Wilson, the station offers fun segments like "College of Classic Country Knowledge" and "The Naked Truth". Shane's passion and experience keep listeners coming back for more!

Uplifting Christian Vibes

Power 107.5 delivers positive contemporary Christian music for the whole family! Sand Mountain Broadcasting and its affiliates are mixing history, heart, and hard work to keep local radio alive and well in North Alabama. It's proof that personality, purpose, and local connection still matter!
