Who We Are
Where Florida Comes to ROCK!
We are Northeast Florida's ONLY rock station dedicated to both the national acts you love and the next generation of rockers that are working their way up. We are here to fill in the void that corporate radio refuses to by playing more than just the same six songs in rotation and always looking for the new and unheard of. We are dedicated music lovers that want to bring radio back to the forefront of artist discovery.
Great Music, Amazing Shows, and Actual People
We know you love to hear music and don't want to be annoyed by some blabbermouth at the controls. That's why when we do have someone at the mic, we make sure they don't suck! From our hometown show Sonic Assault to local and regional live jocks along with syndicated powerhouses we're taking radio back and making it awesome all over again. Check out our schedule and listen in to some great stuff from around the radio world.
Bringing Radio Back To You
We know you have a choice in how you listen to music and we think the other guys are OK too. However, we here at Rock 98.9 think that radio is more than just music. We're here to tell the stories you can't get on other streaming services. We connect with fans, bands, promoters, venues, and everyone involved in making our local rock scene vibrant. Come see us at a show near you!
