Narrative:
ZME clarksville sector has been using 132.1; when ZTL has been switching aircraft to ZME the aircraft come back saying an ATIS is being broadcast on that frequency. Management is aware; but says they have no other frequencys and the aircraft just have to talk over the ATIS. This is not safe and has been like this for a few days.
