WKRR

Classic rock radio station in Asheboro, North Carolina

WKRR (92.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Asheboro, North Carolina in the Piedmont Triad radio market. It broadcasts a classic rock radio format, branded as Rock 92, and is the Triad's affiliate for the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. WKRR is owned by Dick Broadcasting, along with WKZL 107.5 KZL in Winston Salem. Both stations broadcast from studios and offices on East Lewis Street in Greensboro. The transmitter is off Island Ford Road in Randleman, North Carolina .

In November 1948, WGWR FM signed on as the sister station to AM 1260 WGWR. At first, WGWR FM simulcast WGWR. From the late 1960s until 1984, the station played country music with the WCSE call sign. On April 4, 1984, the call sign was changed to WRLT. It played a "light" soft adult contemporary format. The station's call sign was changed to WKRR on October 11, 1985. Though WSEZ was already playing album oriented rock (AOR) when Rock 92 started, that station did not last. Dick Broadcasting sold off almost all of its stations to Cumulus Media in 2000, but retained WKRR and WKZL. WKRR is the Triad's affiliate for the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
