99x Atlanta AAC 🇺🇸

99X, formerly WAPW, burst onto Atlanta's airwaves in 1992 on 99.7 FM, boldly championing the alternative rock movement. Departing from its album-oriented rock past, 99X, under Susquehanna Radio, became synonymous with music beyond the mainstream, perfectly captured by its slogan, "Atlanta's Rock Alternative." "The Morning X," with hosts like Barnes, Leslie, and later Steve Barnes and Jimmy Baron, became a beloved Atlanta institution, celebrated for its irreverent humor and deep engagement with local happenings. Although 99X's original run ended in 2008, its profound impact on Atlanta's music scene endures. The 99.7 frequency later transitioned to Rock 100.5, and subsequently, 99.7 The River, marking the end of an era but not the legacy of 99X.
