Free Beer & Hot Wings All Around!
• Townsquare Media announced the extension of the Free Beer & Hot Wings show across 17 existing Townsquare markets and the addition of three more — WAAL/Binghamton, NY, WBUF/Buffalo, NY and KLUB/Victoria, TX have now joined the party.
“Free Beer & Hot Wings have demonstrated time and again that they can win in our markets, and we are proud to announce that we have extended our agreement with them so that we can keep winning,” said Erik Hellum, Townsquare COO, Local Media. “This is a labor of love,” said Gregg “Free Beer” Daniels. “Townsquare Media has been a tremendous friend and partner to us for over ten years.” Chris “Hot Wings” Michels adds, “In many of these markets, we have celebrated year after year of ratings success and these local communities feel like home to us.” Co-host Joe Gassman commented, “We are excited to win in Buffalo, Binghamton, and Victoria… We were made for Buffalo — the home of the original hot wing.”
“Compelling, relatable, timely, and entertaining content wins,” said Kurt Johnson, Townsquare SVP of Programming. “We could not be happier to have Free Beer & Hot Wings continue as a key part of our success on these local rock stations for years to come.” Free Beer & Hot Wings is based at Townsquare Media’s WGRD/Grand Rapids, MI and is syndicated by Compass Media Group in 50+ markets.
