Anniston has lost an adult contemporary format this week to music that hasn't had much presence in the city before: hip hop. AM 1490, WSYA has been heard on a translators at 104.3 in the Anniston and 99.1 MHz in Oxford. The trimulcast is the first hip hop/urban station targeting Anniston directly on FM.
That's not to say it's the only urban signal in town, though. WHOG, licensed to Hobson City has been blasting away with 500 watts of monaural power for a while now with rap music, but it's just a small AM daytimer. It'll be interesting to see if WHOG tries to battle it out against the FM competition or go off in a different direction. Previously, Annistoners have had to DX V-103 from Atlanta, 95-7 Jamz or Hot 107.7 from Birmingham.
