Nestled in the birthplace of the alternative music movement, Rock 100.7 FM is Athens' leading independent broadcaster and a shining beacon of free speech penetrating the thick darkness of the corporate dominated airwaves. Our mission is to provide Athens with a positive alternative to insipid pop music, corrupt radio executives, corporate coercion, and annoying commercials. Rock 100 was created specifically to serve our diverse community while remaining focused on promoting local musicians.
We feature great music from dozens of Athens artists, as well as, news reports and progressive political commentary produced free of corporate interests and government influence. And, it is all presented commercial free!
Created for Athenians by Athenians, Rock 100 is local, personal, and intimately involved in the community. Rock 100 is Athens Rock.
