🚨NEWS FLASH🚨… Throwback 2K® and Chris Cruise are now bringing it EVERYDAY!
After five years of bringing the First Hits of the New Millennium® by Usher, Britney Spears, Fall Out Boy, N’Sync, Rihanna and more to the weekend, Throwback 2K® with Chris Cruise has added a new daily show to bring an extra dose of 2K hits for an hour, and up to four additional hours of millennial-focused pop culture content, where you program your each music.
Throwback 2K® and now the Throwback 2K® Daily feature the songs, requests, contests, and engagement you won’t find anywhere else – because you won’t find a SHOW like this anywhere else! In fact, in the last year, Chris has helped send a listener and friends to see Usher’s Lovers & Friends Tour in Las Vegas, Taylor Swift’s sold-out “Eras” tour in Miami, and handed out $2K For The Holidays – $1000 to a lucky Throwback 2K® listener , and $1000 to the charity of their choice.  These are exclusive opportunities to drive listening to your station and engage your core audience. And as we know, driving more opportunities to listen can help drive MORE ratings for your brand. We provide the prizes, experiences, and great content, YOUR STATION gets the credit in the ratings and opportunity to increase your revenue.
And with our new daily features, Chris can seamlessly weave in your call letters, information about your local content, promotions, and morning show, and help recycle listeners into other dayparts.
Prior to hosting Throwback 2K®, Chris has worked at some of the best radio stations across the country in the Midwest, Northwest, and his hometown of Detroit – and served as the in-game DJ for the Detroit Tigers.
There’s a reason over 75 market-leading stations have welcomed Chris and Throwback 2K® to their lineup. Maybe it’s time you should too!
