97.1 The River

Stream Atlanta classic rock hits and control the playlist

97.1 The River brings Atlanta’s classic rock station to your pocket, delivering a steady wave of timeless hits from Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, the Eagles and more. It’s designed for fans who want more than just passive listening and prefer to feel connected to the station they love.

The standout feature is “Pick Your Block,” which lets you influence what plays during Rock Blocks by telling the station which songs you want to hear. It’s a simple idea, but it makes the listening experience feel personal and interactive, like you’re sitting in the DJ booth shaping the soundtrack yourself.

The app also doubles as your direct line to station contests and giveaways. From within the interface, you can browse and enter promotions, making it easier to win prizes without jumping between different platforms. For loyal listeners, this alone can be a compelling reason to keep the app installed.

Another handy touch is the alert system for favorite tracks. You can sign up to receive notifications when specific “River” songs are about to come on, so you’re far less likely to miss your must-hear moments. Combined with continuous live streaming, it turns casual listening into a curated, can’t-miss experience.

The design is straightforward and focused on function over flash, which suits a radio-centric experience. Still, users looking for advanced extras like on-demand shows or detailed artist info might find the feature set a bit basic.

Overall, 97.1 The River is an excellent companion for classic rock fans—especially those in Atlanta—who want reliable streaming, a say in what plays next, and quick access to station contests and song alerts.
