99.9 The Fan/WCMC-FM (Raleigh, NC) turned 10 years old Tuesday, and the station is marking the day by giving away prizes and playing congratulatory messages from some of the bigger names in Triangle sports and around North Carolina. WCMC-FM The Fan signed on as the market’s first all sports-formatted FM radio station on October 10, 2007. During the past 10 years, the audience levels of The Fan have risen to an all-time high. In 2016, The Fan was recognized as one of the Best Sports Talk Stations in the country by the National Association of Broadcasters. In 2015, the station was named “Station of The Year” by the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters.
Dennis Glasgow, Capitol Broadcasting Sports Radio Operations Manager/Program Director says, “While I’ve only been here four years at CBC, I can say this is one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking sports radio stations I have ever been associated with over my 25 years in sports broadcasting. While this isn’t one of the first sports stations in the country, we’ve proved it is definitely one of the best, thanks to a great lineup, but mostly in part to our loyal listeners in the Triangle.”
WCMC-FM is currently the flagship radio station for the Carolina Hurricanes and the Carolina Panthers, with ESPN being its primary network programming partner.
