Wwwq (Fm)WWWQ FM ("Q100", 100.5MHz) is an Atlanta radio station that plays a diverse range of top 40 music, including rock and hip-hop. It is owned and operated by Susquehanna Radio, from the same building as its other Atlanta holding, WNNX FM (99X). - http://www.q100atlanta.com
History Q100 has been in metro Atlanta, licensed to College Park only since early 2002. Until then, it was in eastern Alabama as country music station Alabama 100 (WHMA-FM), licensed to Anniston. Susquehanna originally proposed that the station be licensed to Sandy Springs, and remain at 100,000 watts ERP (class C). An agreement had been made with the nearest co-channel station, WSSL-FM in upstate South Carolina for it to move further away, however this never happened, and the FCC eventually denied the request for this reason. The second and much weaker reason was that Sandy Springs is not incorporated, despite the fact that this is only due to political reasons in the state legislature, and that many other stations are licensed to unincorporated communities. The second proposal was approved due to both a change in city of license, and in the class of station from C1 (up to 100kW) down to C3 (up to 25kW) to avoid WSSL-FM. The move left two new radio stations in Alabama, but forced WGHR and W264AE off the air in the Atlanta area. The FCC later upgraded the new station from a 3kW class C3 to a 27kW class C2, and the station moved from the WZGC FM tower to its own, then to another for the upgrade. Neither tower is the same as sister station WNNX FM has listed. This station is now broadcasting in IBOC digital radio, using the HD Radio system from iBiquity. Morning Show The Bert Show is Q100's first morning show. The hosts are Bert Weiss, Jeff Dauler, Jen Hobby, and Melissa Carter. Traffic reporter Chris "Crash" Clark, stunt guy Phil Terena, and Producer Tracy also make appearances. Many of the Bert Show's events benefit the Bert's Big Adventure charity.
