There are two [[Radio broadcasting|radio stations]] currently broadcasting, after 2017, primarily contemporary American (U.S. Based) Pop music, and they are the following: [[WAPE-FM|WAPE 95.1]] which has somewhat dominated this niche for over 20 years but had competition originally based out of Atlanta, Georgia and Los Angeles, California linked to Ryan Seacrest. And more recently has been challenged to a certain extent by [[WKSL]] 97.9 FM (KISS FM). For other popular genres of music, this would be [[WJBT]] 93.3 (The Beat) which is a mostly gangster-oriented [[hip hop music|Hip-Hop]]/[[rhythm and blues|R&B]] station and 96.9 The Eagle [[WJGL]] which is mostly a Classical or Hard Rock station, while its HD subchannel WJGL-HD2 operates an Urban CHR format under the moniker Power 106.1. [[WPLA (FM)|WPLA 107.3]] is its competitor specializing in Contemporary Rock music under the moniker "107.3 Planet Radio." And moreover, [[WEZI (FM)|WEZI 102.9]] is considered another competitor that specializes in Alternative R&B or Adult Contemporary that is often branded as "Easy 102.9" along with [[WEJZ|96.1 WEJZ]] branded as "96.1 WEJZ", [[WHJX|WHJX "Hot 106.5"]] specializing in urban adult contemporary, and WQIK 99.1 simply specializing in traditional [[country music|country]] or Americana as well as WGNE-FM 99.9, and [[WJCT-FM|WJCT]] 89.9 lastly being the local [[National Public Radio]] affiliate.
