Garth Brooks is buying the frequency of a Nashville independent rock station and plans to change it to a country format.
The Country Music Hall of Fame member announced on Tuesday, November 10, that, pending FCC approval, he is purchasing the 100.1 frequency of station Lightning 100, which plays an Adult Album Alternative format (AAA). Lightning 100, which broadcasts as WRLT-FM, is set to move to 106.3. Brooks plans to call his new station FM-100.
“This is an opportunity to bring the entire family of country music together in one spot…the legends, the greats, and the future greats,” Brooks, 64, said. “Nashville is being called ‘The Newest City in America,’ and we want to bring a new kind of communication, combining terrestrial and digital radio, built to grow with this city.”
“The Dance” hitmaker says one of his goals is to promote female artists, who have historically received less airplay than their male counterparts.
“We need both sides telling the story of country music,” he said, while promising to feature female performers from the 1960s through today’s stars.
Brooks has attempted for several years to purchase a radio station, and his goal is to expand FM 100 beyond Middle Tennessee.

Brooks is continuing his “Blame It All On My Roots” arena tour, which kicked off August 20 in Indianapolis and wraps up December 12 at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
