Lightning 100 fires up “Music City Mayhem”… a local artist/band competition. Contestant’s songs are featured both on-air and on-line. Listeners and friends are invited to vote on-line to move their artists up the bracket. This promotion alone doubled the station’s database of followers in less than 30 days.
