| What Happened To 93.1 Detroit |
From Alternative to "Yeehaw!"
For years, 93.1 was the go-to spot for alternative rock in Detroit. Think angsty teenagers with Nirvana blasting, headbanging to the sweet sounds of grunge. But then, in 2013, things took a sharp left turn. The station did a complete 180, flipping to country music and becoming "Nash FM 93.1."
Did someone accidentally switch the radio dial to Nashville? Apparently not. They were determined to compete with the already-established country station in town. It was a bold move, like trying to wear cowboy boots with skinny jeans – it might work, but it raised some eyebrows.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
New Country Takes the Reins (But Briefly)
Fast forward to 2020, and "Nash FM 93.1" decided a simple name change was in order. Enter "New Country 93.1," because apparently, all they needed was a fresh coat of metaphorical paint. The country tunes kept on flowing, but the drama wasn't over yet.
The Family Gets Bigger (But Not Your Radio Family)
In a surprising turn of events, 2023 saw a whole new genre take the reins at 93.1. Family Life Radio, a Christian broadcaster, swooped in and bought the station. So long, twangy guitars, hello inspirational messages. This change left some listeners feeling like they'd been rickrolled by the radio gods.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
Where'd the Country Go? Asking the Important Questions
But fret not, all you country music fans! Fear not, yeehaw enthusiasts! Cumulus Media, the folks who owned 93.1 before the Family Life Radio takeover, didn't completely abandon ship. They took the New Country format and scooted it over to their sister station, WDVD, on their HD3 channel. It's a bit like musical musical chairs, but hey, at least the country music didn't get completely yeeted off the radio waves.
