Today, Connoisseur Media flips WARQ from Live 93.5 to 93.5 The Bubble, a station focused less on “format” and more on a “feel good” vibe highlighting the big hits of the last 30 years and music from today that fits the new station sound. The brand is a nod to Columbia’s nickname, the “Soda City.” On-air lineup includes Anna & Raven in mornings , Kenzie in middays, Croghan in afternoons, and XYZ with Erik Zachary in evenings.

Musically, the station will feature artists such as Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Fall Out Boy, Benson Boone, Coldplay, and Dua Lipa, along with well- known one hit wonder favorites past two decades.

“One of our goals at Connoisseur Media is to create radio stations that sound and feel like the markets they are in,” said Keith Dakin, SVP of Programming. “Columbia was missing a radio station that appeals to the thirty-something female and the music she grew up with, along with the big artists of today. And we liked the opportunity to create a name that felt fun and local.”

“We wanted to build something that feels as refreshing and fun as the name itself,” said Program Director, Brendan Croghan. “93.5 The Bubble is packed with the hits people grew up with and the favorites they love today. It’s the kind of station you pop on and suddenly your whole day feels a little lighter.”

Weekday mornings will feature The Anna & Raven Show, a nationally syndicated program built around listener participation and relatable conversations about everyday life – relationships, parenting, and pop culture. Popular segments like Couples Court and the trivia challenge Can’t Beat Raven invite listeners to call in and take part in the fun as they start their day.

93.5 The Bubble will maintain a presence throughout the Columbia community. The Bubble plans to support local event, charitable causes, and spending time meeting listeners across the region.
