Inside The WKHX Rebrand
After key personnel changes at Cumulus/Atlanta and a bit of deft subterfuge, it looked like heritage WKHX would join some of its canine Country radio cousins ... as a Wolf. After all, the arrival of new PD Mike Moore in October looked like the final piece of the programming puzzle. After 16 years at Entercom’s KWJJ (99.5 The Wolf) in Portland, OR, Moore was joining a Cumulus team that already included EVP/Content & Audience Brian Philips, one of the architects of the original Wolf, KPLX/Dallas. Instead, WKHX was rebranded as New Country 101 Five on Nov. 14, placing a strong emphasis on the regional lifestyle and music. And now, here’s the full story. Brian Philips So why no Wolf? Moore explains, “Brian said to me, ‘Hey, I’ve already made that movie!’” Philips adds, “I heard that rumor and it made me laugh because it’s been done! Texas Wolf (KPLX) is our pride and joy, but it’s a different era. I like to update things that haven’t been updated in a while. That was the case with WKHX.” Lively & Local: Like the Wolf concept, however, the rebrand is anchored in the Mike Moore station’s locality and followed extensive market research. “The station is a celebration of all things Georgia,” Philips says. “It’s meant to make people feel good about where they live. The fact that there’s an abundance of good music coming from Georgia artists certainly supports that.” The positioning statement “Made In Georgia, Loved Around The World” is supported by the voices used in imaging. Among them, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, as well as official “voice guy,” former crosstown morning show rival Jason Pullman, now at Entercom’s WUSN/Chicago. “He was excited to be involved with our new project,” Moore says with a chuckle. Jefferson native Brantley Gilbert can be heard frequently, most notably on the “Georgia AF” sweepers, which are as much inside jokes for locals as they are branding elements.

Wildcard Round
As the cold sets in during January, country artists load up their gear and heat up the road with tour dates kicking off nationwide. RCA’s Miranda Lambert officially launched The Wildcard Tour in Tupelos, MS Jan. 16, but with Nashville coming up in the second weekend of the tour, Country Aircheck patiently awaited her arrival in town and called upon Cumulus WKDF & WSM/ Nashville Dir./Promotions Marie Miscia to share her feedback and what to expect when you’re expecting Miranda Lambert and friends to hit a Lambert Marie Miscia town near you.

My Tunes: Gabby Barrett Warner/WAR’s Gabby Barrett discusses her most influential music: Michael Jackson is my all-time favorite performer and musician. His music, performances and artistry are untouchable. I go back to his music and his art when I’m thinking of ideas musically. Whitney Houston is the female power vocalist that I grew up studying. She could take any song and Gabby Barrett make it her own, heightened every performance, made challenging vocal reaches look easy and made every song special. She is someone who could give me chills in my face! I don’t think there will ever be anyone like Whitney again. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, loving their music and learning from their style and folk/rock sound. I love Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar skills and sounds. My younger sister’s name is Gypsy after ttheir song — that gives you an idea of how much my family loves them. I love the way Shania Twain performs, her energy onstage and the sound of her music. When I hear songs like “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” and “Forever and For Always,” I’m inspired to continue to make cool country music. The electricity of Van Halen’s music is what always draws me in…it’s classic rock, and I always get energized listening to it. Hair bands were always played in the car growing up. Eddie’s guitar playing/sound was very recognizable, and he’s one of the reasons I’m a “guitar gal.” • I haven’t listened to much: Lewis Capaldi. I’ve heard “Someone You Loved,” but haven’t delved into any of his other music yet. • An “important” piece or style of music you just don’t get: Broadway. I definitely get why people would love to perform in the shows — with the sets and the costumes — but personally, I’ve never really been into that type of show. • An album you listened to incessantly: Michael Jackson’s Thriller. This is one of those albums that I just never get tired of. This one in particular is full of so many classic songs I love singing with and listening to. • An obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now: Not necessarily obscure, but up and coming…my label mate Randall King just put out a song called “Hey Cowgirl.” My husband and I love it! It’s been on repeat. Love the classic country vibe. He sounds a little like George Strait on it. • Music you’d rather not admit to enjoying: I’m not embarrassed at all to admit that I love anything ‘80s pop and rock — Michael, Whitney, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Journey, *NSYNC, you name it. I grew up loving it and still do.

Arista’s Lanco and Warner/CoJo/WMN’s Cody Johnson served as openers for Lambert’s Bridgestone Arena show. “Lanco was entertaining as always, and their shout-out to Country radio warmed this radio gal’s heart,” says Miscia. “And, I had heard amazing things about Cody Johnson’s live show, all of which were confirmed Friday night. If you haven’t seen him live, run to his next show. I heard multiple people say they were going to the show to see Cody, and the crowd was excited and on their feet from the minute he took the stage. This may have been my first time seeing him live, but it won’t be my last.” Between acts, a medley of ‘90s country served as a mood-setter for the show to come. “I’ve seen Miranda open on stadium tours and headline everything from small theaters to arenas, but this show was different,” says Miscia. “The stage setup was giant and so open, and there was a huge screen setup in the middle that looked like a glass mirror.” Smaller screens were set to either side, all of which projected high-resolution video throughout the night, giving even the fans in the upper level sections a view of the action. “There were no outfit changes, dramatic set changes or a B stage, but Miranda owned the stage and made it her own,” Miscia notes. As the lights came up, Lambert opened with “White Trash” from her latest LP release, for which the tour is named. “The night was full of Miranda hits and favorites from the Wildcard album, with minimal cover song moments,” says Miscia. “She did cover Alan Jackson’s ‘Don’t Rock The Jukebox,’ and mid-set, brought out Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, her fellow Pistol Annies, for four songs. That probably earned the biggest crowd reaction.” The night included hits and fan-favorites “Kerosene,” “Heart Like Mine,” “Mama’s Broken Heart” and “Automatic.” The set concluded with opening acts Lanco and Johnson joining Lambert on stage for a cover of Travis Tritt’s “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive.” “Miranda took the stage about 9:15pm and played until 11pm, straight through, with no encore,” explains Miscia. “There were perfect levels of spit-fire and sass, and if this tour comes to your town, see it if you have the chance. It’s pretty bitchin!” See a complete list of upcoming dates here. –Monta Vaden

Inside The WKHX Rebrand
(continued from page 1) An example: “If you know what #THWG means, you’re Georgia AF.” (Editor’s note: google it.) While the imaging sets the tone, music confirms it. Approximately 40% of the playlist is comprised of currents, which is fairly static from before the re-brand. The spin count hasn’t changed drastically either, with the most played songs logging just over 60 spins in a week. New Country 101 Five’s current list features heavy spins for natives like Thomas Rhett and Lady Antebellum (Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood both hail from Augusta), but Georgia roots don’t necessarily guarantee a fast ride up the station playlist. WKHX does lead the nation in airplay on the current singles by Gilbert and Jon Langston, however. Does a Georgia pedigree give an artist any kind of add day advantage? “We’re going to evaluate each song and artist on an individual basis,” Moore says. “We want to celebrate the stars the state has already produced and look for people we can shine a spotlight on who are bubbling under in the Georgia music scene.” Philips adds, “We’ll have a Georgia music show eventually, whether it’s for unsigned or local artists.” That could be an expansion of the already existing Sunday night feature GA Country 60.

Shock and Thaw: WXCY/Wilmington, DE staffers team up with the Havre de Grace, MD Police Department to take the 2020 Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge to raise funds for the Maryland Special Olympics.
They’ve Got Personality: “We’ve assembled a team of people who are determined to become the number one choice for country music in this marketplace and also embrace all that is Georgia in this community,” Moore says. That starts with a revamped morning show teaming station vet Dallas McCade with JJ Kincaid, who joined from Top 40 KPTT/Denver. “I’m just really pleased with how they’re progressing,” Moore says. “They didn’t know each other a couple of months ago, and there’s already a genuine chemistry in the room.” Another addition to the talent roster is Moore’s former Entercom colleague – and yet another Wolf alumnus from KMNB/Minneapolis – Lucas Phelan, heard from 3-7pm and serving as the station’s MD. Former morning show co-host Corey Dylan holds down the midday slot while Nights With Elaina remains in evenings.
The station plans to keep promotions locally focused, too. Moore says, “We’ve got a lot of exciting things that we’ll be rolling out in 2020. This is going to be a very grassroots effort. We’re going to be very involved in the community with local charities. We’ll continue to focus on the biggest events in and around Atlanta, and we’ll probably even look to create some events of our own.” In their first ratings report card after the rebrand, December, WKHX moved from a 3.0 to a 3.3 (6+). The Cumulus team declined to comment on the ratings, acknowledging that the December numbers only represent the first three weeks of life for the revamped station. As he waits to assess whether or not New Country 101 Five will be another game changer for the format, Philips did want to be clear about one thing: “There’s no mass movement underway to make this the new Cumulus Country format. It just happened to be the right solution for Georgia, but it certainly won’t be for every market. When we find similar opportunities in another town, we’ll take advantage of it. We want the station to reflect the very best of the audience it serves. That’s a philosophy, not a format.” –Scott Ward CAC
