Townsquare Extends Free Beer & Hot Wings Deal

Townsquare Media Grand Rapids has announced a multi-year contract extension between 97.9 WGRD and the Free Beer & Hot Wings MorningShow.

The new contract keeps the morning show on its flagship station in Grand Rapids through 2018, according to mlive.com

The show, hosted by Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels, Chris "Hot Wings" Michels, and Eric Zane, began full syndication in 2004 and now is heard on radio stations in 25 states.

The show has won the Michigan Association of Broadcasters award for Best Morning Broadcast Personality/Radio Team several times and also has guest hosted the nationally syndicated Dan Patrick Show.

In a statement, Townsquare Grand Rapids Vice President/General Manager, Russ Hines said, "Gregg, Chris and Eric continue to entertain and grow their audience every day and amuse their listeners with quality humorous content. Their decision to stay in West Michigan and continue to raise their families here is another indication of what makes Grand Rapids special.”



The members of the show said they were “thrilled” to extend their relationship with Townsquare and called Grand Rapids the “bedrock for our syndication.”
