Carter commented: “Western New York is synonymous with 97 Rock, and joining that legacy is humbling. I started my radio career blasting Tom Petty, Def Leppard, and Foreigner. It’s music I love, so it’s an honor to be able to continue the great tradition of 97 Rock and play this timeless music. I’m thrilled I get to do it with the Cumulus team in Buffalo.”
