WRNR Now Reaches More Beaches
• Cortona Media’s legendary rocker WRNR (WYRE-AM 810 / W228ER)/Annapolis, MD, which returned to the FM airwaves last July on 93.5, (and recently welcomed back fan favorites Dave Z, Neci, Carrie Evans & Bob Waugh) — is pleased to announce a major signal expansion — effective March 1, Cortona Media LLC will take command of another 93.5 translator (W228DI/Silver Spring, MD) and the HD-4 channel of WTOP-FM/Washington via a Lease Management Agreement with Hubbard Broadcasting, expanding WRNR’s coverage from the shores of the Chesapeake Bay to the banks of the Potomac River and everywhere in between!
Hubbard DC President Joel Oxley commented, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with 93.5 WRNR in Annapolis to extend the coverage of their brand of alternative rock to our frequency signal at 93.5 FM in Silver Spring. Millions more people will now be able to listen to WRNR’s mix of Alt Rock’s best and latest. Personally, WRNR has been one of my favorite radio stations… in addition to WTOP, of course, for the last three decades!”
WRNR is locally owned and operated by Cortona Media LLC, with managing partners Kirk Litton and Jay Stevens. Litton said, “How crazy is this?! This marriage was just too perfect to pass up. I appreciate Joel reaching out to us for this amazing opportunity. WRNR has doubled in listenership in the Annapolis metro since we relaunched on 93.5 FM seven months ago. This is another major step forward.”
Stevens added, “Expanding the WRNR brand on the exact same FM frequency to cover most of DC suburbs with the Annapolis signal will cover a population of just over 1.2 million. Consumers will now be able to listen to WRNR uninterrupted on their commute in and out of Annapolis and Washington.”
To review: WRNR can be heard at 93.5 FM, 810 AM, WRNR.com, as well as the Live 365 and TuneIn apps. Reach Jay at Jay.Stevens@WRNR.com and Kirk at Kirk.Litton@WRNR.com, or call 410-263-3000.
