RADIO ONLINE | Monday, January 28, 2019

Entercom is rebranding WRLN-AM Fox Sports 910 (WRNL-AM) as Richmond Sports Radio 910 The Fan in Richmond, VA, effective February 4. The flagship station for the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Virginia Tech football and Virginia Commonwealth University will continue serving Richmond and the surrounding markets with premier sports content and coverage of local and regional teams. As part of the rebrand, the station will begin simulcasting "The Sports Junkies" from sister station 106.7 The Fan (WJFK-FM) and will debut a new logo.

"We're delighted to welcome the Sports Junkies to Richmond," said Bennett Zier, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Virginia.

"I'm ecstatic and honored that Entercom has asked me to be part of their exciting new lineup," said McElroy. "After a dozen years on air in Virginia, this is home and there's no other place I'd rather be. I'm equally excited to welcome one of the best sports radio teams ‘The Junkies' to the Richmond, Virginia area."
