WKRR (92.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format.[2] Licensed to Asheboro, North Carolina, USA. The station is currently owned by Dick Broadcasting Company, Inc. of Tennessee.[3]
The station's transmitter is in Randleman, North Carolina, which allows the station's signal to go as far south as the South Carolina line (the station can be heard in parts of Charlotte, to the southwest). The station's signal doesn't go very far north, as that would interfere with Roanoke, Virginia station K-92. The current morning show for Rock 92 consists of Chris Kelly, Chris Demm, Deidre James, Dave Aiken, and Biggie taking the name Two Guys Named Chris. They signed on in January 1999. Rock 92 is owned by Dick Broadcasting, which also owns sister station WKZL-FM (107.5 megahertz), licensed to the city of Winston-Salem. Both stations broadcast from downtown Greensboro and have done so since the early 1990s.
In the late 1940s, WGWR-FM signed on in Asheboro as the sister FM to WKXR. Prior to 1984, the FM station played country music as WCSE, then it was WRLT,[4] with a soft adult contemporary format.
WKRR was originally an album oriented rock (AOR) format station but evolved to Classic Rock in the early 1990s. The current WKRR signed on the air on December 31, 1985 after moving from Asheboro.
