"2 Guys Named Chris" (2GNC) has achieved the highest home-market share of any Classic Rock morning program with a 32 share in men 25-54 in a Top 50 market. Produced at Dick Broadcasting's WKRR-FM (Rock 92) in Greensboro, NC, and syndicated through Global Media Services, the team consists of Chris Kelly, Chris Demm, their partner Dave Aiken and producer Biggie.

"2 Guys Named Chris is a breath of fresh air. We couldn't be happier about the ratings and revenue success that the show has brought to WKRR-FM," said Dick Broadcasting COO Dick Harlow. "Knowledge about the music and the bands is essential to rock music fans, and it's part of the fabric of the 2 Guys Named Chris program. It's that extra edge that that puts 2 Guys Names Chris ahead of any other morning program."

Tony Garcia, President of Global Media Services which syndicates the show, observed, "Classic rock audiences don't want morning show dribble. 2 Guys Named Chris has been engaging audiences with relatable conversation and topics from the inane to the insightful, and always fun. It's a perfect fit for the target demo."

The program has received numerous awards, including a 2015 NAB Marconi Award and North Carolina Broadcasters' 2016 Morning Show of the Year Award.
