ANNA & RAVEN NOW HEARD IN 25 MARKETS
This duo has been the dominant, morning-drive show in Connecticut as the foundation for STAR 99.9’s rating success. In early 2020, Connoisseur Media expanded the reach of Anna & Raven, adding the program in the morning on WALK 97.5 FM. Since launching into syndication in January 2021 with Compass Media Networks, the program has quickly amassed 25 markets.
Marco Mazzoli, CEO and Program Director, Revolution 93.5 WZFL-FM Miami comments, “I was looking for a show that could fit our unique format, but nothing sounded like Revolution 93.5, then I came across Anna & Raven and thought… That’s what I’m talking about! The show is fun, fast, full of content, and never obvious, I think Miami is going to love it!”
Kim Mitchell, General Manager, WMQR-FM “Harrisonburg Radio Group is excited to add Anna & Raven as the new morning show on More 96.1. Our focus has always been engaging content with a local spin, and we believe Anna and Raven’s high-caliber talent will deliver that and more to our audience. They are the perfect fit for the More brand and will be relatable to our loyal listeners. They’re super fun, and I think they’ll add great energy to the Valley’s commute to work.”
“The Anna and Raven Show” has been steadily adding stations, formats, and dayparts. Primarily a morning show on Hot AC stations, the show now can count AC, Country, and Classic Hip-Hop among its’ ranks. WDLZ-FM is the first affiliate to add the show in afternoon drive 2-7pm.
