Flagler Broadcasting Launching KOOL 100.9FM

PALM COAST, Fla. - Dec. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Flagler Broadcasting is pleased to announce that they will soon launch KOOL 100.9FM, 'Flagler County's Greatest Hits', a new radio station format. The station will go live on December 26^th at midnight, replacing the current Easy 100.9FM format.

"We have been working on the new format since October," said David Ayres, Flagler Broadcasting's Vice President & General Manager. "We wanted to do something new and different in 2017," he added. Ayres is confident the residents of Flagler County will embrace the new station's '60's and '70's format. Listeners can expect to hear songs from the Eagle's, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatle's, Motown music and more. "It's amazing to think we started eight and a half years ago with a blank slate and have grown to five stations through our local and community involvement," said Ayres. He added that they have advertisers that have been with them since the beginning because they are able to offer their inventory at an affordable price. He encourages listeners to tune in to the station's 'blast off' at midnight on December 26^th for a special launch.
