RFC Media Launches Two New Radio Format Services

RFC Media Launches two new radio format services, Hot AC "The Planet" and Alternative "The Revolution." The announcement by SuiteRadio, a broadcast and digital radio firm, marks the debut of the two 24/7 full-service radio formats for broadcasters. SuiteRadio is produced by the creative team that built RFC Media, a firm producing custom content and digital brand radio, co-founded by veteran programmers Patrick Fant and Cruze.

Fant was formerly VP/GM of KLOL-FM (Rock 101), VP/GM of KTBZ-FM (The Buzz 94.5) and VP/GM of KRBE-FM all in Houston. Fant was named Radio GM of the Year by American Women in Radio & Television (Texas) and is a 2011 Inductee into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. Cruze's credentials include programing and air personality posts at WFNX-FM/Boston, KTBZ-FM (The Buzz)/Houston, WWDC-FM (DC101)/Washington DC, WMGK-FM/Philadelphia and WKBQ-FM/St. Louis.

The Planet and The Revolution are both hosted by veteran major market air personalities and are totally customizable. Plus they can come branded or unbranded. Both are delivered fully produced via Network Digital Decoder. The RFC format service replaces the local automation system rather than interacting with it.
