In the heartland of pickup trucks, rebel flags, rednecks, and Roy Moore, Montgomery, Alabama, now has another country music radio station.
This reminds me of the famous line from "The Blues Brothers" when they were going to perform at a country bar. When asked what type of music is normally performed there, the bar tender replied, "We got both kinds - Country and Western."
WBAM in Montgomery, which is found on the FM dial at 98.9, has changed from a Top-40 station to become the new country station. The word "progression" wouldn't really be the best term here - going from Top-40 to Country seems to be more of a lateral move.
Montgomerians, you now have a choice: Country or Western....
...and as for the State of Alabama.....well, at least we're not in Mississippi.
