Local Radio Ditches R&B for Country | Mobile News

Local radio station 92.5 W223BX just dropped the soul for some outlaw country, rebranding as “The Bandit” — a throwback to ’80s to early 2000s country hits with vintage flair. Launched Monday morning, the station’s bold pivot taps into nostalgic demand, spotlighting legends like Vince Gill and Chet Atkins, plus classic country-western flicks. It’s also a tribute to Alabama’s own “Soul of Mobile,” whose legacy they’re honoring by playing his signature sound. Tune in to 99.5 FM or reach out directly — if you crave that timeless twang, this is your new home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
