Locally based FM hip-hop has a home at WGBZ-The Beat
A new radio station has come to the Anniston area, tailored especially for residents who crave the hip-hop lyrics, R&B sound and rapping beat of musical superstars like Niki Minaj, Aretha Franklin and Eminem.
Called WGBZ-The Beat, the radio station is the area’s first locally broadcast hip-hop program in stereo.
“Basically, our goal is to make radio fun and exciting,” said Justin Simane, WGBZ-The Beat’s programming director. “People don’t want to listen the same-old, same-old. And until now, the area never had a hip-hop, R&B FM radio station.”
Music programming for WGBZ-The Beat debuted Sunday night on 104.3 FM, 99.1 FM and 1430 AM.
