“I am so excited to create the show I’ve always wanted to do on one of the most iconic radio stations in the country,” said Kanan. “There aren’t many heritage rock stations left, and 98 Rock is alive and well. The station is everything a rock station should be – covering every era – and I’m excited to play new rock music. My compliments to all of the fantastic people at Audacy for making this happen. Now, I need to find the best burger and sub sandwich in Sacramento.”
