Hagerstown, MD - Nassau Broadcasting Partners, L.P. announced today that they have changed the format of one of its Maryland radio stations licensed to Hagerstown, MD, WARX FM 106.9.  As of 11:00 am today, 106.9 FM became 106.9 The Eagle, The Four States’ New #1 for Classic Hits. 

“The change comes after substantial research of the market where we asked area listeners what they were looking for in a radio station” said Michelle Stevens, EVP Programming.  “We are excited to provide the Hagerstown, Frederick, Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Martinsburg “Four States” area with a station where every song is a Classic from artists like Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, and Elton John, featuring the most music in the Four States with 20 Song Music Marathons.”
