Garth Brooks Just Bought the Airwaves of Nashville’s Beloved Indie Radio Station

Garth Brooks is buying the radio frequency of Nashville’s longest-running independent radio station and plans to turn it into a country music channel. Lightning 100, which adheres to a AAA format and plays artists ranging from Tame Impala, Bleachers, and Fontaines D.C. to Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves, and the War on Drugs, entered into an agreement with Brooks’ own Sevens Network LLC, which will purchase the 100.1 frequency pending FCC approval. Garth Brooks Doesn't Let Oklahoma Forget Where He Came From in Rowdy Homecoming Lightning 100, which broadcasts as WRLT-FM, is set to move to 106.3 and 102.5HD3 once the deal is approved. For now, it will remain on the 100.1 frequency. This marks Brooks’ latest foray into the country radio market. In 2023, he launched his Big615 channel with free-internet-radio provider TuneIn. That partnership ended in September. The country singer, who has famously resisted streaming his catalog online, previously tried to circumvent the streamers by founding his own digital music service, GhostTunes, in 2014.
