Cumulus CHR “Q100” 99.7 WWWQ Atlanta has hired Ashley ‘Z’ Elzinga for its vacant 7pm-12am slot.
Elzinga most recently hosted nights at Entercom’s “107.9 The End” KDND Sacramento. She has also worked at “Energy 106.9” WNRG Milwaukee, “106 KHQ” Traverse City MI and Ryan Seacrest Productions in her career.
She fills the void created by Adam Bomb’s move from nights to afternoons earlier this year after Johnny O relocated to sister WSSX Charleston as Program Director.
Cumulus Media announces that Ashley Elzinga (Ashley Z) will join Atlanta’s Q100 as the 7pm-12 Midnight personality. Ashley Z replaces Adam Bomb, who moves to afternoons on Q100. Ashley Z was previously night personality for Top 40/Mainstream KDND (107.9 The End) in Sacramento, CA. Prior to that, she hosted middays for Top 40/Rhythmic WNRG in Milwaukee. She also worked with Ryan Seacrest Productions in Los Angeles as part of the digital media team and was night personality at WKHQ in Traverse City, MI. Ashley Z debuts on Q100 on Thursday, February 23, 2017.
Louie Diaz, Q100 Program Director and Operations Manager, Cumulus Media-Atlanta, said: “After a nationwide search, Q100 is excited to add Ashley Z to the on-air team. Ashley is an incredible talent and will keep Q100 #1 for great local content and hit music at night.”
“I’m thrilled and extremely humbled to join Q100! The electric energy that Cumulus Atlanta has is so inspiring and I couldn’t be more excited to bring my all to this already amazing team. Thanks so much, Mike McVay, Sean Shannon, Jeff Brown and Louie Diaz for this incredible opportunity and very warm welcome!”
I believe she VT’d evenings at KAMX Austin, as well.
