PCJ Wed Mar 25: End of an Era 🎙️

A bittersweet goodbye

Good morning Wilmington!

Today marks the end of an era. After 27 years on Rock 92’s Two Guys Named Chris, Chris Demm is signing off for the final time. My wife and I have spent countless mornings listening to the banter, the laughs, and the kind of radio that just felt like home. Wishing Chris nothing but the best in this next chapter—he’s definitely earned it.

Today’s Two Guys Named Chris show ends at 10:00 AM but will replay after the live airing. You can catch the replay here.

In today’s Port City Jams:

End of an Era: Chris Demm Retiring After Decades on Air

WFMY News 2 Longtime radio host Chris Demm is retiring after nearly three decades on Rock 92’s “Two Guys Named Chris” morning show, marking the end of an era for Triad listeners. Demm, who has been a staple of Greensboro radio alongside co-host Chris Kelly, says the decision came after careful consideration and feels it’s the right time to step away. Important to note: The 2 Guys Named Chris show will continue under same name but with only one Chris and a different lineup.
