Cumulus Media has launched a new radio station in Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Country Legends & Texas Classics 93.3 HD2, it will play hit country music from the 70’s and 80’s, and it launched on December 15.
The station began broadcasting its new format and programming at 12 noon, airing its first song, “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" by George Strait.
93.3 HD2 in Dallas isn't a primary station but part of the WBAP-FM/AM cluster, specifically its digital subchannels offering other formats. The main 93.3 FM broadcasts News/Talk 820 WBAP. This is one of its HD subchannels, meaning that you need an HD Radio receiver in your car (or home) to tune in.
The station stream will be up in a couple of days via the new website at www.countrylegendstexasclassics.com, so you can stream it on your phone, computer, or Smart speaker.
Country Legends & Texas Classics HD2 will feature country favorites from artists including George Strait, Willie Nelson, Alabama, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, and Reba McIntyre, among many others.
The station previously aired Westwood One syndicated Classic Rock. (Westwood One is owned and operated by Cumulus Media.)
Cumulus Dallas regional VP Dan Bennett notes in a statement that they're already seriously invested in country music.
“We are doubling down on our long-term commitment to Country music in Texas by launching Country Legends & Texas Classics 93.3 HD2," Bennett says. "This station will give a voice to great Country hits from the 70’s and 80’s. Paired with our fan favorite DFW Country stations, 99.5 The WOLF and New Country 96.3, this creates a wall of Country for our station group and for the passionate Country music lovers in the DFW area and strengthens our belief in this incredible format."
