Two translators are helping Clear Channel bring the Thunder back to Tampa on 105.9 and 94.5. According to Tampa VP of Programming Doug Hammond says Clear Channel was simulcasting WFLA-AM on 105.9 and 94.5 is new. Both will now switch to the class rock brand to compliment Active Rock "98 Rock" WXTB. Thunder 103.5 was dumped about 8 years ago to make way for Country US-103.5. The Rocker was being played on HD2.
Hammond said, ?We?re excited to bring Thunder to Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg to offer our listeners Classic Rock programming all throughout the area. Thunder is another avenue for great Rock programming and we?re excited to have it as a compliment to Active Rock station, 98ROCK WXTB.?
Thunder 105.9 and 94.5 debuts commercial free playing the best Classic Rock from the Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Boston, Van Halen and more. Thunder returns to the market after the station previously flipped to Country programming in 2005.
