Thanks to William Watson for the following info. The University of Florida’s 100,000-watt commercial radio station, WRUF-FM 103.7 known today as "Rock 104" will become Gainesville’s only country radio station beginning this weekend, officials from UF’s College of Journalism and Communications announced today. Under its new name, “Country 103.7-The Gator”, the station will broadcast country music to attract a broader audience and help ensure the economic viability of the media properties for decades to come, said Randy Wright, executive director of the college’s multimedia properties. "Rock104" will live on as Rock104.com, continuing to target the 18-34 demographic with the active rock format the station has programmed plus local information and entertainment of value to North Central Florida.
