Curtis Media Launches Rock 92.9/Raleigh

• Curtis Media Group Raleigh-Durham, NC closes out 2020 by flipping WPLW-AM/W225DF from Hot AC Star 92.9 to Classic Rock as Rock 92.9, under the command of veteran PD Len Shackelford, who rejoined the company in September after a 21-year absence. Shackelford also programs Classic Hits sister WKIX (Kix 102.9).

Shackelford remarked, “The time is right for a real Classic Rock choice in the Triangle. We’ll have a much wider playlist with artists that still deserve to be heard, like Rainbow, Dio and Montrose; plus, instead of just playing a few cuts from core artists like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen and Guns ‘N Roses, we’ll go deeper. It’s gonna be a fun ride with The Triangle’s Rock 92.9!”

Trip Savery, Pres./COO of Curtis Media Group, commented, “There is a long and proud history of great, locally programmed rock radio in the Triangle. Rock 92.9 marks a return to those roots with the best Classic Rock tailored to the unique tastes of listeners in the Triangle.”
