Los Angeles station KROQ-FM has announced the return of the original “Roq of the 80s.” The 1980s rock-centric radio station has launched on Radio.com and KROQ-HD2 with a Flashback 500 countdown. The station will feature classic hits from artists and bands like U2, Blondie, Duran Duran, and Nine Inch Nails.
“KROQ came to prominence in the early 80s and we are excited to honor the iconic station with the launch of ‘Roq of the 80s,’” said Jeff Federman, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Los Angeles. “This new channel will give fans the opportunity to relive the station as it sounded then, while exposing new consumers to the magic of early alternative music.”
“Roq of the 80s” kicks off with KROQ on-air alumni Freddy Snakeskin and Tami Heide, as well as original station imaging.
