Pittston, PA —Today at 7:00 AM, Entercom Wilkes-Barre/Scranton launched the newest member of its broadcasting family, the new Max 102 FM. This new station will feature hit based rock music from the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s uniquely delivered to Northeast PA by local personalities and with limited commercial interruptions.
“This is an exciting time for our company, our listeners, and our advertisers,” said Ryan Flynn, Vice President and General Manager of Entercom Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. “The New Max 102 will deepen our connection to Northeast PA with a fun new approach to rock music”. Flynn added “In addition to its unique music position, Max 102 will play about half the commercials of other radio stations in the market after the promotional launch, which will be a big point of differentiation for the brand long term”.
