WKHX Howling About A Major Announcement Thursday

Posted: 13 Nov 2019 02:02 PM PST
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/1...ment-thursday/



Weve reported for a few months now about potential domains for a rebrand at
Cumulus Country Kicks 101.5 WKHX-FM Marietta/Atlanta.

The station is now promoting on-air a big announcement for Thursday,
November 14 at 3:00pm. The promos include a wolf howling in the background
teasing the rebrand as 101.5 The Wolf. Considering new WKHX Program
Director Mike Moore previously spent sixteen years at 99.5 The Wolf KWJJ
Portland, he may have some expertise with the brand name. And where does
the former major market personality known to be spotted lately in the
Cumulus Atlanta facilities fit in?

Meanwhile, Country Aircheck reports today that WKHX APD/afternoon host
Scott Gaines will be departing the station next month. Gaines joined WKHX
in August 2017 from sister WGKX Memphis and has also worked at WSM-FM
Nashville and 106.7 The Fox WDTW Detroit and 96.7 The Twister KTYS Dallas.

The exits of Ogden and Ryan follow the departure of afternoon host Cora
Quinn last month after a six month run in that daypart. Morning hosts
Jackson Jones and Steph Peters are currently the only on-air staffers at
WWQM.

Over at AC Magic 98 98.1 WMGN, Julie Jacobs is out as 12-3pm host. Jacobs

At least four on-air staffers have exited Entercom Miami as the company
