Tuned In Broadcasting, Inc., which operates Lightning 100, announced the agreement, which is pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Under the agreement, Brooks’ Sevens Network will acquire the 100.1 FM frequency, while Lightning 100 will relocate to Cromwell Media Nashville’s 106.3 FM and 102.5 FM HD3 frequencies.
“This deal moves the 100.1 FM frequency to Sevens Network, but keeps Lightning 100 on the air at a new place on the dial,” said Lester Turner, president of Tuned In Broadcasting. “We are disappointed to leave our home at 100.1 FM, but thrilled to have Cromwell Media Nashville as our partner in this transition.”
Brooks said the acquisition will allow him to create a new kind of radio experience for Nashville residents and visitors.
“Nashville is being called, ‘The Newest City in America’ and we want to bring a new kind of communication, combining terrestrial and digital radio, built to grow with this city,” said Brooks. “It is an honor and a joy to serve Music City, and there is no better place to serve Middle Tennessee than from the MIDDLE of the FM dial on FM-100!”
Lightning 100 will continue broadcasting its familiar programming on 100.1 FM until the FCC approves the sale and the transaction closes. Once the transition is complete, listeners will need to tune to the station’s new frequencies.
Additional details about programming plans for Brooks’ new station have not been announced.
