WKRR
Encyclopedia : W : WK : WKR : WKRR
WKRR (Rock 92) is a Classic Rock station licensed to Asheboro, North Carolina and serves the Piedmont Triad region, including Greensboro, High Point and Winston Salem. The station, which is owned by Dick Broadcasting, operates at 92.3MHz with an ERP of 100kw.
The station's transmitter is in Randleman NC, which allows the station's signal to go as far south as the South Carolina line (the station can be heard in parts of Charlotte, to the southwest). The station's signal doesn't go very far north, as that would interfere with Roanoke VA station K-92. The current morning show for Classic Rock 92 consists of Chris Kelly and Chris Demm, taking the name "2 Guys Named Chris". They signed on in January of 1999, following the station's previous morning show, the syndicated "John Boy and Billy". Classic Rock 92 is owned by Dick Boradcasting, which also owns sister station WKZL-FM (107.5 megahertz), licensed to the city of Winston-Salem. Both stations broadcast from downtown Greensboro and have done so since the early 1990's. Former Classic Rock 92 morning man Brad Krantz ('87-'96) can now be heard on competing station WZTK-FM (101.1 megahertz). His sidekick, Britt Whitmire, also has Classic Rock 92 roots, as he worked part-time at the station from 1989-1992.
History
WKRR was originally a AOR station, which dates back to the early 1970s, but evolved to Classic Rock in the early 1990s.
