WKRZ
WKRZ, "98.5 KRZ", is a radio station licensed to Freeland, Pennsylvania serving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton radio market at 98.5 MHz FM. The station radio format is Top 40 which it has broadcast in the market since 1980. For three decades, the station has used "KRZ", a shortened form of its call letters, for its on air promotion. The present owners of WKRZ, Entercom Communications, received FCC approval in 2003 to move WAMT (103.1 MHz FM, now WILK-FM) from Freeland to Avoca. As a condition of the move, Entercom was required to change the city of license of WKRZ from Wilkes-Barre to Freeland due to FCC concerns about the "loss of local service" to Freeland because of the WAMT move. In practice, the only thing that changed was the legal ID.〔(NorthEast Radio Watch by Scott Fybush )〕
WKRZ is broadcasting in IBOC digital radio, using the HD Radio system from iBiquity.〔(HD Digital Radio | DISCOVER IT! | HD Digital Radio )〕 The main program is simulcast on 98.5 HD-1 in digital.〔 Comedy programming can be heard on 98.5 HD-2 on the secondary digital multicasting stream.〔
WKRZ also airs ''On Air With Ryan Seacrest'' on weekdays.
==History==
The radio station now known as WKRZ, first signed on the air in 1948〔(U. S. FM Stations as of 1948 )〕 as WBRE-FM from Wilkes-Barre. It was the FM sister station to then WBRE AM at 1340 kHz〔(U. S. AM stations as of 1946 )〕 also located in Wilkes-Barre. WBRE-FM evolved through a number of radio formats ending up with an all News format during the 1970s.〔( Northeastern Pennsylvania Radio Answers )〕 The station, up to that point, broadcast in FM mono since its start in 1948. Due to consistently low audience ratings in the area,〔http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=WB&s_site=timesleader&p_multi=WB&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB71AE85C56FAB0&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM (Originally Published on April 8, 2001, Page 1B, The Times Leader, Wilkes Barre, PA)〕 WBRE-FM made a big change in 1980 when it was sold with the new owners switching to FM stereo, a dramatic format switch to Top 40 music, along with the call sign change to the present WKRZ. WKRZ-FM has been broadcasting a Top 40 music format since 1980. It debuted as 98½ KRZ-FM. It went by 98½ to differentiate itself from WILK 980 which was Top 40 at the time and called itself AM98. It was originally supposed to be called Krazy 98 as its sister station was WAQY Wacky 102 Springfield Mass.
