Congratulations!     6-5-26
Russ Rollins of WTKS-FM 104.1 has been named number 75 on the Talkers Magazine 2026 Heavy Hundred. 

6-10-26  On his Facebook page Russ posted this about his win. "A big thank you to Talkers Magazine for once again recognizing me as one of the Top 100 Talk Show Hosts in the Nation. This year I came in at #75, and I’m truly honored. If you remember, last year we actually called and asked them to list it as “Russ and the Monsters” because this recognition is not about me alone. What we do every morning is a team effort, and I’ve always believed the success of the show belongs to all of us. Their position is that the list recognizes the host of the program, so they continue to list my name individually. While I appreciate the honor, I want everyone to know that this recognition reflects the hard work, talent, and dedication of the entire Monsters family—past and present. Thank you to everyone who listens, supports us, and allows us to do what we love every day. After 33 years, I’m still grateful, humbled, and having a blast."
