iHeartMedia relaunched Classic Rock 100.7 WRDU Wake Forest/Raleigh NC with a musical shift to Rock/Alternative on Wednesday.
Now positioning as “Everything Rock & Alternative”, the station is still gold oriented with its playlist focusing mostly on music from the 1990s and 2000s. The Woody & Wilcox morning show based at sister “106.5 The End” WEND Charlotte will continue in mornings with Aly Young in middays, recently appointed Program Director E White in afternoons, and Battle at night.
The 3pm hour on Wednesday, July 30 featured:
- Kid Rock – Bawitdaba
- Imagine Dragons – Radioactive
- Collective Soul – The World I Know
- Rise Against – Savior
- Skid Row – I Remember You
- Metallica – Nothing Else Matters
- Lorde – Royals
- Led Zeppelin – Immigrant Song
- Local H – Bound For The Floor
- Three Days Grace – (I Hate) Everything About You
WRDU ranked 13th in the Raleigh/Durham market with a 3.2 share in the June 2025 Nielsen Audio Ratings, but fifth with a 6.3 share in the May Eastlan Ratings. The flip leaves Curtis Media’s “The Triangle’s Rock FM” heard on 570 WQDR and four translators as the only traditional Classic Rock outlet in the market. That station has a 0.0 share in the June Nielsen ratings and 0.8 in the May Eastlan’s.
