Alt 99.1 Transitioning to New Ownership
W256CD-FM, known as Alt 99.1, is a radio station based in Fultondale, Alabama. It recently transitioned from iHeartMedia ownership to Way Media, a Christian broadcasting network.
Located in Jefferson County, Fultondale is a northern suburb of Birmingham with a population of over 8,000. Alabama, a southeastern U.S. state, is renowned for its role in the Civil Rights Movement, with historical landmarks such as the 16th Street Baptist Church and the Rosa Parks Museum.
The station, operating on 99.1 FM, has been known for its alternative music programming. However, with the acquisition by Way Media, the station's programming is expected to undergo a shift. Details of the new format have not yet been released.
Despite the change in ownership, Alt 99.1 remains committed to providing listeners with high-quality sound and engaging programming. The station is a testament to the vitality of the radio industry and the diverse media landscape in the United States.
