WAEZ


WAEZ is a Mainstream Top 40 radio station serving the Tri-Cities TN-VA Metropolitan Statistical Area with an ERP of 100,000 watts. It is licensed to Greeneville, Tennessee. The station started out as a Top 40 station until 2004, when the station went with a Hot AC format, but due to lower ratings, the station reverted to the Top 40 format in early 2006. WAEZ is owned by Bristol Broadcasting Company, along with "twin stations" WVSR-FM in Charleston, West Virginia, and WDDJ-FM in Paducah, Kentucky. The station targets active young adult females ages 18 to 34, according to Bristol Broadcasting.
Electric 94.9 is one of the most popular stations in the Tri-Cities and currently ranks fourth in the Arbitron ratings for the Tri-Cities market.
In 2011, Bristol Broadcasting purchased a translator and it currently re-broadcasts WAEZ on 95.3 in Kingsport, Tennessee. Previously, WAEZ dealt with many issues getting the main signal into parts of Kingsport.
The station also has to deal with tremendous co-channel interference in and around Marion, Virginia from WSLC-FM in Roanoke.
