iHeartMedia-Atlanta announced today the return of 96 Rock, effective immediately. The legendary station returns digitally after a 15-year hiatus and can now be heard nationwide via the iHeartRadio app as well as 96rock.com, iHeartRadio.com and smart speakers everywhere.

96 Rock will be streaming a wide variety of classic rock including songs from artists like AC/DC, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and many more. The station will also feature some of the voices that have contributed to making 96 Rock a legendary station in the Atlanta market and the industry. Former 96 Rock talent Larry Wachs, Tim Rhodes and Willard have lent their voices to the station.

“Righting a wrong has never felt better… You’re welcome,” said Drew Lauter, President of iHeartMedia-Atlanta. “96 Rock was an iconic rock station in Atlanta for decades, serving the community with some of the best rock and roll ever recorded. I’m thrilled that listeners nationwide can now experience this station again anytime and anyplace.”

“96 Rock is a legendary brand,” said Meg Stevens, SVP of Programming. “Multiple generations grew up with 96 Rock in their lives and it was a staple to the Atlanta community. Having it back will allow new generations to enjoy the station on a digital platform while allowing us to engage the audience in new cutting edge ways.”
