Sports radio is getting a new home in East Georgia. FOX Sports Radio is coming to WAAW FM in Augusta next month.
The station currently runs an urban gospel format and is known as Shout 94.7. When the format flips on July 3, it will be known as FOX Sports 94.7 Augusta.
No local programming is planned for the new station. It will carry the full FOX Sports Radio lineup.
“WAAW is extremely excited to bring FOX Sports to local Augusta sports fans,” said Tony Gray, President/CEO of Gray Radio, LLC, which bought the station from American music icon James Brown in 2002. “We’re confident that the home of the Masters Tournament will embrace the station’s new format.”
FOX Sports Radio has been on a roll of late. On Tuesday, the network announced that it had found a new home in Alaska on 550 The Zone in Anchorage. Earlier this month, picked up a new affiliate in Peoria, IL.
