Radio One has completed its Charlotte frequency swap.
The Hip Hop “92.7 The Block” format has moved to 102.5 W273DA Charlotte as “102.5 The Block” fed via 105.3 WOSF-HD2. That clears 92.7 for Sports 610 WFNZ to move its FM simulcast from the translator to the former 92.7 WQNC Harrisburg NC, which changed call letters earlier this month to WFNZ-FM. This swap was first reported in our 2/17 Domain Insight.
WFNZ announced its move to the new FM signal on Tuesday morning after disappearing from 102.5 on Monday leaving some listeners confused as nothing was explained to them ahead of time.
The move upgrades WFNZ’s FM signal from the 200 watt/155m translator to 92.7’s 10.5kW/154m Class C3 signal.
WQNC had been trending up in recent months up 1.6 – 2.0 – 2.2, although still well behind Beasley’s “Power 98” WPEG and its second ranked 5.8 share in the January 2022 Nielsen Audio ratings. WFNZ was omitted from the publicly listed ratings this month.
Thank you for making WFNZ your #1 choice for sports in Charlotte! You can now listen to Sports Radio WFNZ on 92.7 FM and 610AM. TUNE IN!#sportsradio #charlotteradio pic.twitter.com/X0pG3KtR9r
