KMCS/93.1 (Muscatine) has transitioned from “Vintage Sound” Classic Rock to Hard Rock as “93.1 The Buzz, everything that rocks.”
The new format launched at 7 a.m. Monday, Dec. 9. The station’s website says the playlist will include some artists from the old format such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Van Halen along with additions like Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Greta Van Fleet.
The change comes after a nearly seven-year run for “Vintage Sound.” KMCS and sister station KWPC/860, which carries a Classic Country format and is rebroadcast on K236CF/95.1, were sold to Jonathan A. Mason’s Jam Media Solutions last year.
Muscatine is under the umbrella of several major Quad Cities stations, including Classic Rock, Country, Adult Contemporary, and Contemporary Hits formats.
