WROK-FM (105.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Macon, Georgia.
History
Prior to September 2009, 105.5 carried a Sports Talk format as ESPN 105.5 The Fan, Middle Georgia's Only 24/7 Sports FM, under the callsign WIFN. On September 3rd, 2009, WIFN began stunting with TV theme songs, with liners promoting to tune in at 1:05 PM the next day for a big announcement. At that time, WIFN moved to 1500 AM, and 105.5 flipped to mainstream rock as Rock 105.5 with the new callsign WROK-FM. The first song on Rock 105.5 was Know Your Enemy by Green Day.[1]
On March 4th, 2016, EMF Broadcasting acquired WROK from Cumulus’ Joule Broadcasting divestment trust for $625,000. EMF will flip WROK-FM to its K-Love network upon closing of the deal.[2]
Programming
Along with the rock format, WROK-FM remains Macon's FM home for Atlanta Braves baseball and Georgia Bulldogs football.[1][3]
In October 2009, the station picked up The Regular Guys (simulcasted from sister-owned WNNX-FM in nearby Atlanta) for its morning drive slot.
