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

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