Classic Rock 101.1 WROQ-FM in Greenville, SC, is honoring the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne today with a special station takeover. The station will rebrand as “Ozzy 101.1,” dedicating five hours of programming to one of rock’s most legendary voices.
The tribute will be hosted by longtime station personality and Brand Manager, The Stoneman, who has been playing Osbourne’s music for more than four decades. The broadcast will feature a mix of chart-topping hits and fan favorites spanning Osbourne’s career, both as a solo artist and frontman of Black Sabbath.
“Ozzy didn’t just shape rock music—he helped shape Classic Rock 101.1 and the lives of our listeners,” The Stoneman said. “His raw energy, fearless creativity, and unforgettable voice became part of the soundtrack of our station and our audience’s lives. Today, we celebrate the man, the myth, and the music that will live forever. Rest in power, Ozzy. You were one of a kind.”
Listeners can expect to hear everything from Black Sabbath classics to iconic solo tracks like “Crazy Train,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” and “No More Tears.” The station says the temporary rebrand is a heartfelt salute to “The Prince of Darkness,” a symbol of rock’s enduring spirit.
