W255CJ

W255CJ FM 98.9 is a 250-watt "broadcast translator" radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, US, airing an alternative rock format known as 99X.

Operation

Facility

The station's city of license was previously Tallapoosa (west of metro Atlanta), which is now far beyond its current broadcast range, nearly in Alabama. The station's current facility was a move-in in 2011. Previously, it was programmed as 99X, which originally began on full-power station WNNX (now WWWQ) FM 99.7 in 1992, then reappeared on W250BC FM 97.9, before moving to this station in June 2011. It was then followed by active rock "98-9 The Bone" in September 2012, and Christian AC/country "98-9 The Walk" in February 2013. It switched to a satellite-fed oldies format in August 2013, then flipped to a country format known as "Nash Icon" in late autumn 2014. In November 2015, it became "Warm 98-9", playing all-Christmas music through Christmas, and then to an adult contemporary format the day after. The return of 99X occurred a week later at Midnight on New Year's Day, 2016.

The Walk (Sawyer Brown song)

"The Walk" is a song written by Mark Miller, and recorded by American country music band Sawyer Brown. It was released in June 1991 as the third and final single from their album Buick. It peaked at number 2 in the United States, and number 5 in Canada. It is also included on their 1992 album The Dirt Road.

Content

The song is a ballad in which the song's narrator tells about his life through walking. In the first verse, he is a boy who is reluctant to walk down the driveway to the school bus and go to school, until he is comforted by his father. In the second verse, the narrator is again comforted by his father after becoming an adult and going out into the world alone. By the third verse, the father is now very old and they are both walking down the driveway. The son is walking his father to a nursing home. The father understands because he too had to walk his father down the driveway. It is a song about cycles.

Music video

The music video was directed by Michael Salomon, and it is entirely in black and white.

The Assembly

The Assembly were a British synthpop project formed in 1983 in Basildon, England, by Vince Clarke (songwriting, keyboards, backing vocals) and Eric Radcliffe (songwriting, production).

Feargal Sharkey was hired as a guest vocalist for the A-side of the group's only single, "Never Never". Clarke and Radcliffe had planned to use a different singer on each track the group recorded, but the group disbanded after the release of "Never Never", and no other vocalists were employed by the duo.

Band history

Clarke founded The Assembly shortly after disbanding Yazoo (featuring vocalist Alison Moyet), upon completion and distribution of Yazoo's 1983 album, You and Me Both.

The Assembly marked the most involved phase of Clarke's long-term professional relationship with sound engineer Radcliffe, who had contributed significant influences to the recordings of Clarke's previous bands, Depeche Mode and Yazoo. However, the Assembly project never became a full-fledged band and resulted in only one single release, the UK hit "Never Never". It featured a sampled guitar track triggered note for note on a Fairlight CMI). The sound was augmented by session musician Clem Clempson on electric guitar.
