2000

The station celebrates a decade of bringing great music to Nashville!

Lightning 100’s Earth Day celebration outgrows previous sites and moves to the more spacious the Green Hills YMCA.

 

Former Lightning 100 air talent and official station voice, Sue Wilkinson (“That British Chick”), moves to L.A. to pursue an acting and national voice-over career. She continues to serve as the official Lightning 100 station voice thanks to the miracles of technology.
