Cumulus’ NASH brand has reached an important milestone as JVC Broadcasting’s “103.1 The Wolf” WOTW Orlando will become the first non-Cumulus affiliate for “America’s Morning Show“.
The Nashville originating show hosted by Blair Garner, Terri Clark, Chuck Wicks and Erika Grace Powell fills the opening created by the quick cut of Bubba The Love Sponge last month. The program will debut on Monday, April 13.
WOTW will also add Cumulus’ Kickin It With Kix in overnights and American Country Countdown on weekends.
NASH, a multi-platform entertainment brand based on the Country music lifestyle, announces that it has partnered with JVC Broadcasting to bring NASH Country programming to Orlando. Beginning April 13, 2015, NASH’s America’s Morning Show with Blair Garner will join 103.1 The Wolf (WOTW-FM) to anchor weekday mornings from 6:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m..
103.1 The Wolf will also air Kickin’ it with Kix and American Country Countdown from the NASH suite of Country radio programs originating from Cumulus Media’s NASH campus in Nashville, the nation’s only multimedia facility devoted solely to producing and distributing content based on the Country music lifestyle, including radio programming, TV/videos, magazines and events. America’s Morning Show is now heard in 30 U.S. markets including New York, Dallas, Detroit and Nashville, where the program airs on WKDF/NASH FM 103.3, and is the top-rated Country morning show in the market across all demos.
