FACTS:
CONTEMPORARY FAVORITES...
WNNS plays Lite Rock from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today for 25-54 year olds from artists like John Mayer / Elton John / Rod Stewart / Kelly Clarkson / The Eagles / Phil Collins / John Mellencamp / Celine Dion and the list goes on . This format is best known for drawing an adult audience with a higher level of income that makes frequent buying decisions; whether it be a new car, groceries, baby clothes or appliances.
We look at it this way . . . If Oprah had a radio station, what would it sound like? The answer is simple . . . WNNS.
NUMBER ONE FOR AT WORK LISTENING...
WNNS has focused on building the overall audience by being the top choice in offices in the Springfield area. We accomplish this through a safer style of programming (see below) and through promotions like “Take Lite Rock 99 to Work” where people register as WNNS listeners; we draw a name on Thursdays, go to their place of work and if they have WNNS on their radio - we give them $99!
SAFE THROUGHOUT THE WORK DAY...
Some stations like to take it to the edge, but is that best when you’re listening to the radio with your family? Especially your kids? What about when people listen to the radio at work? Rest assured, WNNS takes the safe angle concerning programming. Does it make us boring? No. But, it’s the type of station everyone can listen to. A definite yes!
THE AMY & BRYAN SHOW…
Amy & Bryan—Springfield’s NEW Favorite Morning Show—weekday mornings Monday-Friday 5a-10a on Lite Rock 99 WNNS! Originally from Michigan—they are rapidly becoming Springfield’s #1 choice in the morning! Amy Nelson and Bryan Major wake up Central Illinois each weekday with fun features like “Page 2 News,” and TONS of contests such as chances to win Lottery Tickets, the Birthday Club...oh, and did we mention that the show is family-friendly? NO blue humor, and NO reasons for the listener to reach for the button to change the station when the kids are in the car.
THE 70’s LUNCH & DELILAH...
All-Request Lunch Hour where listeners take control of the station playlist by calling in their own request…and we play ‘em! At 7p, Sunday through Friday, WNNS is the home for Delilah. Delilah invites listeners to share their stories of love, life, friendship, perseverance and so much more . . . she then plays a song pertinent to the listener’s story, or plays the listener’s request for a certain song that exemplifies the importance and emotion of their story. A truly inspiring program.
LITE ROCK 99 "WEATHER FORECAST"...
