The nationally syndicated Anna & Raven morning show is growing again. Three new affiliate stations have been added across Fort Wayne, Nashville, and Albuquerque.
What We Know: Beginning July 20, the show launched on Federated Media’s 97.3 WMEE-FM in Fort Wayne. Additionally, Cromwell Media’s WBUZ-HD4 Totally Hits 93.3 in Nashville picked up the program for mornings. Meanwhile, American General Media’s Mix 105.1 KKRG in Albuquerque will air Anna & Raven weekdays from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. The show now reaches 90 markets nationwide.
What They Said: Anna Zap put it plainly. “Our affiliates are our family, and we are committed to delivering our humor and authenticity to each market,” she said. “Getting to partner with superstar teams like Federated Media, Cromwell Media, and American General Media is an honor, and we’re excited to connect with their audiences.”
What Remains Unclear: How quickly the Fort Wayne launch will translate into measurable ratings is still to be seen. Furthermore, no timeline has been provided for additional affiliate additions beyond these three. Whether Albuquerque’s afternoon slot reflects a strategic daypart experiment also remains an open question.
What It Means:Anna & Raven isn’t slowing down. Three new affiliates in a single announcement signals a show in full growth mode. Reaching 90 markets, the program is rapidly becoming one of syndicated radio’s most aggressive expanders.
