WSRM 93.5 FM format change a go for noon today: Promotional "liners" are being heard on WSRM 93.5 FM this morning as the station continues to separate from WRGA 1470 AM. Several local voices are among those teasing, "A new life is coming to 93,5 today at noon." By then, the station's new name and format will be formal with several weeks of additional changes to follow. It is a variation of a format not heard before in Northwest Georgia. Those used to listening to WRGA's feed on WSRM need to tune to 1470 on the AM dial. WRGA also is expanding its daily newscasts and updates effective today. More updates by noon.
