- History:
- This station
has probably been a "beautiful music" station for most of its
history, always as WRSA (RedStone Arsenal). The slogan for a long
time was "Beautiful 97". Was originally licensed to Decatur, but
changed in 2005 to Holly Pond in a big re-alignment of Huntsville
radio. Has always targeted Huntsville. In more recent memory,
it was known as "Lite 96.9" and leaned more towards soft rock than
straight-up AC. Over time the format drifted towards a wider
playlist and in January 2015 the station re-branded as "Mix 96.9",
while keeping the same morning show and jocks.
