Garth Brooks Is Launching His Own Country Music Radio Station in Nashville, and He Has a Special Mission in Mind

Garth Brooks plans to launch FM-100, a new Nashville radio station centred on country music and local information. He says the project is intended to serve the city and promote its existing stations, rather than compete with them.

Brooks will buy Lightning 100’s place on the FM dial, allowing the independent station to move to a nearby frequency and continue broadcasting. FM-100 will feature country music from different eras, with a stated focus on hearing women who shaped the genre alongside current artists. Brooks also wants the station to share local event and weather information, and eventually reach listeners around the world.
