FCC pulls Atlanta alt-rock station 99x off the air after interference complaints

[cmg_anvato video=4368894 autoplay="true"]

The Cumulus Atlanta station returned on Jan. 1, 2016 , after a three-year absence.

A few things we want you to know:

1. We are pursuing the FCC with an appeal of their decision. We believe the interference complaints were remediated successfully and we have a right to continue to provide lovers of 99X with a product they have proven they love. We are not sure how long the process will take, but we will do all that we can to return 99x to the FM band.

2. This is not the end of 99x! Through the distribution channels described above, we’ll continue to program the station with the passion, the love and the effort we have. To that end we will be launching a promotional campaign on our products informing listeners on where they can find 99x.
