Two Guys, Two Decades
• The nationally syndicated 2 Guys Named Chris show celebrates 20 years on the radio this month. Produced at Dick Broadcasting flagship WKRR (Rock 92)/Greensboro, NC, the team, consisting of Chris Kelly, Chris Demm, their partner Dave Aiken, and producer Biggie, has received numerous awards and accolades, including a 2015 NAB Marconi Award and the North Carolina Broadcasters’ 2016 Morning Show of the Year Award. The show has achieved No. 1 ratings with Men 25-54 in both Nielsen and Eastlan, in both diary and PPM methodology.
Dick Harlow, COO of Dick Broadcasting Company, remarked, “Over the last 20 years, 2GNChas developed into a powerhouse program delivering the most compelling content in the industry. Chris Kelly, Chris Demm and their teammates, Biggie and Weather Dave, have got to be the hardest working men in radio.”
Jason Goodman, VP of Programming for DBC, commented, “Twenty years flies by when you’re having fun, right? A morning show that started from scratch and that became dominant for two decades is special. The 2 Guys Named Chris show is expert in delivering compelling content, and it has been our pleasure for them to be a part of our community.”
As one might expect from air talent of this stature, the team is humble and philosophical about their success and their longevity. “Now that we’re 20, we look forward to being able to have a beer… in one year,” said Chris Demm. Chris Kelly commented, “After the first show we were told we wouldn’t last 20 days, so, I guess we’re pretty proud.” Producer Biggie added, “I’ve been here for ten of the twenty years, so I’ve only lived half this nightmare!”
2 Two Guys Named Chris airs weekdays from 6-10am ET and is available on a market-exclusive basis. Global Media Services is the exclusive syndication representative for the show. For more info, contact Tony Garcia at 303-916-6333 and garciatony60@gmail.com.
