Actually this one took place before the move of 106.7 KMEZ to 102.9 as Cumulus quietly shifted Country “Nash-FM 106.1” WRKN Picayune MS/New Orleans to the “Nash Icon” brand in November.
Accompanying the playlist shift was the dropping of the syndicated Ty, Kelly & Chuck in mornings and Nash Nights Live and Blair Garner Show in evenings. The station is now utilizing the national “Nash Icon” airstaff of Marty McFly, Darlas Rai, Deidre Ransdell, and Chase Adams in those dayparts. Scott Innes remains in middays and Jeff Johnson stays in afternoons.
WRKN has not appeared in the Nielsen Audio ratings for the New Orleans market since the Spring 2018 period when it registered a 0.8 share with its rimshot signal.
