WKRZ, "98.5 KRZ", is a radio station licensed to Freeland, Pennsylvania serving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton radio market at 98.5 MHz FM. The station radio format is Top 40 which it has broadcast in the market since 1980. The station has always used some branding of "KRZ", a shortened form of its call letters, for its on air promotion. The present owners of WKRZ, Entercom Communications, received FCC approval in 2003 to move WAMT (103.1 MHz FM) from Freeland to Avoca, Pennsylvania which required Entercom to change the city of license of WKRZ from Wilkes-Barre to Freeland due to the FCC rules about the "loss of local service" to Freeland because of the WAMT move.

WKRZ is broadcasting in IBOC digital radio, using the HD Radio system from iBiquity. The main program is simulcast on 98.5 HD-1 in digital. Comedy programming can be heard on 98.5 HD-2 on the secondary digital multicasting stream.

WKRZ also airs On Air With Ryan Seacrest on weekdays.

WKRZ Video

An old WNEP newscast I found in the vault on the Jimmy Harnen and Synch hit "Where Are You Now". Interviewed by Melissa Sander are a much younger Doc Medek from FROGGY 101 and Jumping Jeff Walker from WKRZ. This appeared in April of 1989.
2.07 min. | 4.90 user rating		 Jeff Walker tries to swim 100 Free Jeff made fun of Eric Moussambani Malonga after he swam the 100 free in the 2000 Olympics in the slowest time in the event. Jeff said he could do better and our swimmers challenged him to do it and he not only failed but almost did not make it alive.
