Audacy announced the launch of 101.1 Big Buck Country (WROQ-FM), ushering in a new era for listeners across the Upstate.
Effective immediately, 101.1 Big Buck Country will deliver a fresh mix of country hits and all-time country classics.
Concurrently, 93.3 The Planet (WTPT-FM) will continue to serve the Upstate’s rock fans and welcome listeners of Classic Rock 101.1 with an expanded music library.
93.3 The Planet will include even more classic rock from artists such as Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Queen and Tom Petty, mixed with active rock favorites including Metallica, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Green Day.
Mark Hendrix, the market’s Operations Manager, will oversee both stations’ content strategy, talent, operations and branding.
“I am excited to give our listeners the best of both worlds, an exciting new home for country fans with 101.1 Big Buck Country, and a stronger, more dynamic rock presence on 93.3 The Planet,” Hendrix said.
Hendrix added, “We’re expanding our offerings while keeping the personalities and music our audience loves. This reflects our commitment to serving the Upstate with the best entertainment, talent and radio experience possible.”
Former Classic Rock 101.1 host, “The Stoneman,” has transitioned from middays to afternoon drive and can be heard weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET on 93.3 The Planet, giving The Planet a powerful all-local lineup.
