Stephen King, the legendary horror author, isn’t just a master of chilling stories—he’s also a passionate advocate for rock ‘n’ roll. His beloved rock radio station, WKIT 100.3 FM, which was on the verge of shutting down permanently, has officially been saved. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as the station will continue to blast classic rock hits across the airwaves.
The radio station, based in Bangor, Maine, has been a passion project for King and his wife, Tabitha, for years. WKIT, affectionately known as “The Rock of Bangor,” was in danger of being silenced due to financial and operational hurdles. However, thanks to last-minute negotiations and overwhelming support from fans and local communities, the station has secured the resources it needs to keep running.
In a heartfelt statement, Stephen King expressed his gratitude to everyone who stepped in to save the station. “Rock ‘n’ roll is more than just music—it’s a voice, a heartbeat, and a part of our culture. I’m beyond thrilled that WKIT will continue to keep that spirit alive,” said King.
WKIT has long been known for its eclectic playlist, featuring rock legends like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and The Rolling Stones, as well as King’s signature spooky flair sprinkled throughout its programming.
Listeners can expect the same high-energy broadcasts, engaging hosts, and Stephen King’s unmistakable influence in the station’s unique vibe. The comeback of WKIT is not just a victory for rock music enthusiasts but also a testament to the power of community and passion.
So, tune in, turn up the volume, and let WKIT remind you why rock will never die!
