Atlanta entrepreneur Will Regan is bringing back the Talk Host Kimmer on WTZA 1010 AM and W271CV 102.1 FM in February, reports Rodney Ho at ajc.com.
Regan, who started RC Media Partners, plans to take over the lease of two stations from K&Z Broadcasting LLC, which currently airs a Spanish language contemporary Christian music format.
He is then expected to purchase the stations outright.

He plans to keep the podcast going as well. “This feels like a whole new thing and I’ve been in the business for 54 years,” said the Kimmer, who will keep his core staff of sidekick Pete Davis, voice guy and comedy relief Jim Gossett and producer Brent “Flounder” Dundon.
Mike Brooks, a host and former law enforcement officer who was also on Talk 106.7, will join in at 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., said he “hopes the listeners like it and it really takes hold with the audience.” He thinks there is still a hole in the market for a station like this.

“It floored me,” he said. He watched as no other radio station group was willing to resurrect the station format. So in August, Regan decided to do it himself. He began hunting for a signal to buy, going up and down the dial. The 1010/102.1 combo was the best deal he could find.
Regan would love to have Burke back but Burke has a full-time gig in Orlando so that may be a challenge.
