WZGC FM ("92.9 dave fm") is an Atlanta FM radio station playing the adult album alternative radio format. Deep classic hits can also be heard on 92.9 HD-2 (HD Radio needed). It is also the current flagship station for the Atlanta Falcons. [1]
From 1974 through July 2004, the station was called Z93. From 1974 through 1987 Z-93 was a leading CHR station; then changed to an urban CHR format from 1987 to 1989, and had a classic rock format from 1989 to 2004. The name change to DAVE FM and format switch to adult album alternative came on July 22.
Up until the change, the station was one of the most rigid Atlanta FM radio stations in terms of name and callsign. Originally it was the first full-time FM Atlanta classical music station, with the call letters WGKA-FM, it changed to WZGC in 1972, when it began as an oldies station. It switched to Top 40 in 1974, then to an urban format during the summer of 1987, and then to classic rock in January 1989.
The station now plays a selection of music from the 1980s and 1990s, but also goes as far back as the 1970s and plays some current music as well. Artists with several songs in rotation at the station include Sting, U2, INXS, R.E.M., Jack Johnson, and Bob Marley.
WZGC is owned by CBS Radio, along with WVEE FM and WAOK AM in Atlanta. [2] It is also a sister station to Atlanta's CW affiliate WUPA, Channel 69.
