Christian broadcasting group to buy WRNR 103.1 FM in Annapolis

Christian radio group Peter and John Fellowship Inc. is buying WRNR 103.1 FM for $1.54 million, according to Federal Communications Commission filings. WRNR 103.1 FM has been the hometown alternative rock station for the Annapolis area for decades, broadcasting from Grasonville with a station in the state capital. The Christian broadcasting group will purchase the station’s FCC license along with some equipment, but WRNR’s owner, Empire Broadcasting Corp., is retaining its format, intellectual property and call letters. The pending acquisition would leave WTMD 89.7 Towson as the last Adult Album Alternative radio station in the area.
