Country is out and Alternative is in for CMG in Atlanta. The new station is "X107.1 FM, Atlanta?s New Alternative." Like most new launches these days the station will kick off with 10,000 songs in a row. The format will feature alternative artists such as The Tantrums, Imagine Dragons, Passion Pit, Avicii, The Black Keys, The Lumineers, Vampire Weekend, and many more. CMG VP of Programming Steve Smith says research shows Atlanta is ripe for an Alt40 radio station like X107.1.
