1310 is not Korean anymore and is branding itself as Atlanta's news and talk leader "The King"  ? They are playing jazz right now.

And if you go to AtlantaRadioKorea.com, linked on the Wikipedia page, the frequency in the title (located on the top of the browser) is not 1310, but 1040. All this, while WPBC has an LMA with 1080, apparently...

Think maybe 1040 and 1080 could be gearing up for an east-west simulcast to replace 1310?

It is also the most pathetic looking tower, maybe 75 feet or so, but it still puts out a pretty good signal.

Atlanta so needs another talk station -LOL It would, however, be nice if they actually took some initiative to do local programming, covering local issues.
