After stunting for a week with Zombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400”, Major Keystone expanded their Hip Hop “Loud Radio” brand to State College PA today with the debut of “Loud 101.5” W268BB State College/WZWW-HD3 Bellefonte.
State College becomes the company’s third Pennsylvania market for the brand joining existing stations in Allentown and Reading. The “Loud Radio” brand is also offered in 24/7 syndication via G Networks with affiliates in Fort Wayne IN and Youngstown OH.
Prior to making the move into station ownership, Cerullo programmed three stations for Alpha Media San Antonio, was APD/MD at “Wired 96.5” WRDW-FM Philadelphia and “Amp Radio 98.7” WDZH Detroit, and hosted nights at “Hot 99.5” WIHT Washington DC. He began his career in State College at CHR “Hot 107.9” WJHT.
“Loud 101.5” will feature the WQHT New York based “Ebro in the Morning” hosted by Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez from 6-10am. The remainder of the daily lineup includes DJ H Vidal from 10am to 1pm, DJ Grooves from 1-3pm, and Vijay from 3-7pm. Grooves’ syndicated “The Loud Mix” will be heard on Friday and Saturday nights.

Original Report 5/8: Major Keystone LLC launched 101.5 W268BB State College PA this weekend with a loop of Zombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400”.
Branding as “We Are 101.5“, the stunting is tied into the association of the song with Penn State University football and their “We Are Penn State” chants.
The translator is telling listeners to listen on Friday, May 13 at noon for the launch of “what’s next”. It is being fed by Seven Mountains Media’s 95.3 WZWW-HD3 Bellefonte.
