WUBL

WUBL FM 94.9, known as "94-9 the Bull", is an Atlanta FM radio station that plays country music. Its radio transmitter is located just northeast of Atlanta near Druid Hills Road in North Druid Hills, with several other stations, and operates from studios located at the Peachtree Palisades building in the Brookwood Hills district of Atlanta.

History

WUBL signed on in 1962 as WAVO-FM as a beautiful music outlet. In 1972, it changed call signs to WPCH and shifted to easy listening. The station would be known as "Peach 95", and then "Peach 94.9." In 2002, WPCH relaunched as WLTM ("94.9 Lite FM"). WLTM flipped to its current country format at Noon on December 18, 2006, interrupting the station's annual Christmas music run.

Current

Along with WSB-FM, this station is the primary entry point (PEP) for Emergency Alert System messages for the state of Georgia. In an emergency, the two stations receive alerts via secure networks directly from the U.S. president, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, and the National Weather Service. All other radio and television stations and cable TV systems in metro Atlanta must monitor these two stations at all times with their EAS equipment. Alerts are then relayed across the state by other stations.

Lite (band)

Lite, stylized as LITE, is a Japanese rock band that has been termed "one of Japan's top instrumental rock acts." The band is made up of Nobuyuki Takeda (guitar), Kozo Kusumoto (guitar & synthesizer), Jun Izawa (bass), and Akinori Yamamoto (drums), and plays math rock. All of their albums have charted in Japan, with For All the Innocence charting the best, at number 85 on the Oricon chart.

Biography

Formed in 2003 in Tokyo, Lite played many gigs around Tokyo and self-released two demo CDs. In 2006, they released one mini-album, Lite, and one full-length album, Filmlets, through Transduction in the UK and Cargo in Europe.

Lite's sound combines the precision and musicianship of prog rock with the emotionally charged cinematic compositions of art rock, in a heavier, more modern package that they describe as “math rock”.

They toured the UK and Ireland in 2006. In July 2007, they played at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and followed that with another UK & Ireland tour in September, coinciding with a split release with Funanori (Kaori Tsuchida from The Go! Team and Mike Watt from the Minutemen). Titled "A Tiny Twofer", the split CD features three songs each. In 2008 they released their second album Phantasia. In May 2009, they made their American debut in New York City opening for Mike Watt's Missingmen.
