New Imaging
With the move of the FM side of COX MEDIA GROUP News-Talk WSB-A-WSBB/ATLANTA from the exurbs to a tower in ATLANTA proper, the station has rebranded to mark the occasion and the improved FM signal.
WSB, which had been billed as NEWS 95.5 AND AM 750 WSB since adding its FM simulcast in 2010, has changed its imaging and logo to drop the AM reference and call the station simply 95.5 WSB. The FM station's long-in-the-works move-in from a tower in HALL COUNTY to the tower of sister AC WSB-F (B98.5) east of downtown gives it a signal roughly at parity with the other full-market FMs.
