Garth Brooks just bought a Nashville radio station.

His plan is to focus on local content. "If it's going on in Nashville, we want the people of Middle Tennessee to be aware of it," he says on his website.

Garth says the new station will be called FM-100, and it will be a country station. New music and new artists will get played, but it will not be a "reporting station."

Reporting stations let chart platforms like Billboard and Country Aircheck / Mediabase know which songs they play, so the totals can be used to create airplay charts.

“This is an opportunity to bring the entire family of country music together in one spot … the legends, the greats, and the future greats,” he says.

Garth also plans to feature female artists from the 1960s through today. "We need both sides telling the story of country music," he says.

In addition to news and events happening in Middle Tennessee, he says listeners can be sure they'll get immediate weather alerts.

He'll also work with local tourism groups to spread necessary information and promote Music City in a positive way.
