Charlotte sports radio station 102.5/610 The Fan WFNZ has signed afternoon host Chris Kroeger to a multi year contract extension. The talented sports talker has become a signature voice in the market since joining the station in 2014. He took over afternoons when former host Mark James relocated to Atlanta to host on 92.9 The Game.
“Chris Kroeger leads the conversation in all things Sports for Charlotte on WFNZ,” said VP/Market Manager Matt Hanlon. “His depth of knowledge and relationships with everyone in town related to sports makes him an invaluable resource and sports leader. We’re thrilled he’s committed to WFNZ and Entercom for the future.”
“I’m thrilled to continue with WFNZ and Entercom Charlotte,” added Kroeger. “WFNZ took a chance on me to come home and revive the afternoon show a few years ago. I’m beyond excited to keep building on the growth of our show and the sports history of Charlotte.”
