Cumulus Media-Indianapolis announces that CHR WYRG (Energy 93.9) has flipped to “93-9X, Indy’s Rock Station!” Listeners can expect to hear songs from Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, AC/DC, Metallica, Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses and more on 93-9X. The station will run commercial-free through Memorial Day weekend. The Bert Show moves from WYRG to mornings on sister AC station WNTR (107.9 The Mix).
Chuck Fredrick, Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus-Indianapolis, said, “93-9X Indianapolis’s Rock Station is looking forward to serving the Rock enthusiast and the communities they live, work and celebrate in.”
Troy Hanson, Corporate Program Director for Cumulus Media, said, “We are excited to expand the successful 93X brand to Indianapolis with the new 93-9X. Shout out to KXXR/Minneapolis PD Derek Madden, our brainchild on this project, as we fill a hole in the marketplace with a much-needed Rock station. The partnership opportunities this brand adds to our Indy cluster portfolio and Rock platform are limitless.”
WYRG was acquired by Cumulus from Entercom earlier this year.
