About WWRZ 98.3 FM — The Rose
 
98.3 FM The Rose is based in Lakeland, Florida.  While our signal has been around for many years, the station (in its current form) first hit the airwaves in February of '97.  We provide our listeners in Hillsborough, Manatee, Hardee Highlands, De Soto, and, of course, Polk County with great music from yesterday and today.  You'll hear artists like Elton John, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie and Rod Stewart. 
  
Not only does The Rose feature some of the greatest music of the past 30 years, we also have a lot of experience.   You'd be hard-pressed to find another radio station in Central Florida with a more experienced staff. 

In addition to the music, 98.3 FM also works hard to provide you with updated news and information.  Our local news is gathered by our newsroom (people who actually work here in the building — what a concept!).  We're also affiliated with the Associated Press.  
  
98.3 FM is kind of like Mama Bear's bed in the old Goldilocks fairy tale.  Not too hard, not too soft — It's just right, whether you're at work, at home, or in the car.
