In 1998, Wachs and Von Haessler resumed the show on Clear Channel-owned Atlanta station WKLS, which was branded as 96 Rock at the time. During The Regular Guys' first stint at Clear Channel, the show was voted "Most Likely to Be Fined by the FCC" in a Creative Loafing (Atlanta) survey.

The station began in May 1994 as country music "Y 105.5" WYAI-FM, a class-A serving Carrollton to the west-southwest of metro Atlanta. Having co-channel RF interference with station WCHK-FM 105.5 in Canton, Georgia (north-northwest of Atlanta), both stations changed radio frequencies (the other station now being WBZY 105.7) and moved closer to Atlanta.
The 2004 change occurred when competing Atlanta station Z-93 (WZGC FM 92.9) became "Dave FM", switching from classic rock to adult album alternative (AAA).

("The Buzz" later merged into "96 Rock", becoming "Project 9-6-1", but remaining as WKLS). "Viva 105.7" began simulcasting on 96.7 FM (formerly "The Buzz") on May 17, and that station's callsign was changed to WVWA (an anagram of WWVA, with the two middle letters transposed). Because 105.7 is north of Atlanta, 96.7 gave some coverage to the south.

Rock 100.5's first song was "Baba O' Riley" by The Who. WWWQ and WNNX swapped call signs the following day.
