WRNR LogoListen to Progressive 103.1 - Live

103.1 WRNR-FM / Annapolis, MD / Progressive Adult Rock
WRNR "Radio Annapolis" is an adult oriented alternative rock station that broadcasts 6KW from Grasonville - about 6 miles east of Kent Island. Their studios are in Annapolis. WRNR-FM started off as a freeform progressive rock station, owned by radio pioneer (and former WHFS owner) Jake Einstein. The original air staff talked up everything from politics, to pop-culture...and spun their own hand-picked music - just like the original WHFS. Einstein sold the station to "Empire Broadcasting" who kept the same music format, but cut down on the chatter and focused more on the music. WRNR has a very large music library and plays a wide variety of music that goes from popular alternative acts, to unknown indy artists. One of the more unique and popular radio stations in our area.

WCEI features "The Morning Rush" with Matt Spence & Kelly Lynn, well known local personality "Big Dob" O'Brien doing mid-days, Don Bumpus in the Afternoon Drive, along with the syndicated "Delilah" in the evenings.

WRYR-LP97.5 went on the air in June 2002. Their transmitter is on Tilghman Island, only about 8 miles south of Kent Island across the water - but at only 100 watts from an 80 foot tower, WRYR only covers about half of Kent Island. WRYR-LP (low power) mainly serves Southern A.A. county (owned by the "South Arundel Citizens for Responsible Development - SACReD") on the Western Shore, even though most of their signal coverage is really on the Eastern Shore.
