Classic Rock WNRQ-FM (105.9 The Rock) in Nashville is set to debut "The Loper Show," on Monday, January 15. The program will air weekdays from 6-10am. Loper has been a staple in the Columbus, OH market for over a decade, where he hosted mornings on WRKZ (99.7 The Blitz). He'll be joined by Tim Battle, who has been with 105.9 the Rock for nearly ten years in a variety of roles.

"Loper is 105.9 the Rock," said Program Director Jonathan Shuford. "He lives, eats, and breathes the rock lifestyle, has a deep knowledge of the format, is well-connected already in the Nashville community, and is full of ideas that are going to be a jolt of energy for our listeners."

"I'm thrilled to be part of iHeartMedia Nashville and 105.9 the Rock," said Loper. "I'm ready to take my career to new heights in Nashville, a city that embraces creativity and pushes boundaries. Big shout out and gratitude to Jonathan Shuford, Gene Romano, Gator Harrison, Dan Endom, Brad Hardin, and the rest of the fantastic iHeartMedia team. Get ready to rock, Nashville."
