WCMC-FM 99.9 Genuine Country Becomes Home of Hurricanes Radio Network
|
The Stanley Cup winning Carolina Hurricanes have a new radio home at CBC’s WCMC-FM. |
CBC’s newest radio station, WCMC-FM, will now be a home to more than country music. On Thursday, June 28, 2007, the Carolina Hurricanes announced Capitol Broadcasting Company will be the new flagship radio station for the hockey team.
Beginning with the 2007-2008 season, WCMC will broadcast all of the team’s pre-season and regular-season and post-season games. WCMC will also produce and broadcast weekly programming focused on the Hurricanes as part of the three-year agreement.

“Capitol Broadcasting Company has been a big fan of the Hurricanes from the beginning and I have wanted to do the radio broadcasts since we put 99.9 Genuine Country on the air,” said CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon. “I’m delighted we worked this out with the Hurricanes.”
Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, made the announcement.
“We’re delighted to partner with Capitol Broadcasting for our radio broadcasts,” he said. “This is an extension of our relationship with Jim Goodmon and everyone at Capitol.”
WRAL-TV’s award-winning Web site, WRAL.com, will also get into the action on the ice. As part of the agreement WRAL.com will enhance its Hurricanes section, offering streaming and downloadable audio and video of Hurricanes-related programming from WCMC, as well as expanded coverage of the team.
