The AM station 860/WAEC-AM has changed from a Christian format to a salsa format.
Beasley Broadcasting has shifted WAEC from a Christian talk format Love 860 to Playa 860.
The company in a press release said the brand is “Salsa and More” with a “variety of artists, including Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Juan Luis Guerra and more” providing “the ultimate beach experience of traditional rhythms and heritage of the music that was born across Caribbean in countries like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Colombia.”
It had been a Christian format of some sort going back to 1979 and the first Atlanta station to play contemporary Christian music.
