Townsquare Media’s Alternative “Alt 101.7” WQRR Reform/Tuscasloosa AL and is currently operating as “Radio 101.7“.
After first carrying a loop of Taylor Swift, foreign language covers of Swift, and imaging insinuating the station was hacked by Russia, it has changed this morning to Michael Jackson.
The stunt is going viral on social media, in particular TikTok and Facebook, with many insinuating that it is tied to recent drone sightings. We reported on a pending flip at WQRR in our 11/27 Domain Insight.
