Dayton Radio: Alpha Media Launches HankFM

Alpha Media/Dayton, OH today at 10am launched Hank FM on WCLI 101.5 FM which will play iconic hit country music from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s — a format currently not being utilized in the market.

Alpha stated, "While the Miami Valley has several country hit stations, 101.5 Hank FM promises to differentiate itself by playing the iconic artists absent from Dayton radio such as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and Brooks & Dunn."

“The decision to add Hank FM in Dayton becomes part of the foundation to help increase our value as a cluster in the market,” said Alpha Media Executive VP of Programming Scott Mahalick.

“The Icons of Country format connects us to a passionate and underserved audience that continues to grow."

"101.5 Hank FM is being launched because we miss the ‘golden era’ of country music and we know that a lot of people in Dayton do too,” said Program Director Brad Waldo. “There are some great stations in the area, just none that are playing what we play.”
