Following the departures of Chip Kullik and Tracey Carroll and move of Jimmy Malone to a new role last month, iHeartMedia Classic Hits “Majic 105.7” WMJI Cleveland has unveiled the new “Mark Nolan Show”.
Nolan, joined WMJI as midday host in 2012 and took over the morning show lead in 2014 following the retirement of John Lanigan, will now be joined by Jen Picciano and Krystle Elyse. Picciano has spent the past 15 years as a reporter for WOIO-TV Cleveland and will continue in that role as well. Elyse returns to the company after serving as Assistant Promotions Director and working on-air at sister CHR “96.5 Kiss-FM” from 2011 until last September.
iHeartMedia’s Majic 105.7, Cleveland’s Classic Hits, announced today the debut of “The Mark Nolan Show,” effective immediately. “The Mark Nolan Show” will broadcast weekdays from 5 – 10 a.m.
“The Mark Nolan Show,” a newly created Cleveland-centric morning show, will feature broadcasting veteran Mark Nolan playing music from the 70s and 80s, discussing current events and championing for the city we all call home. Joining Nolan on the show are two additional native Clevelanders, Emmy award-winning reporter Jen Picciano and former 96.5 KISS FM personality Krystle Elyse.
Nolan has more than 25 years of broadcast experience, including nearly 20 years as a television meteorologist and anchor. He has been a part of the Majic 105.7 team for the last nine years and previously held positions at local television stations WKYC and WOIO. Throughout his career, Nolan has received seals of approval from both The American Meteorological Society and The National Weather Service. He is a graduate of Kent State University.
“There isn’t a friendlier or more familiar face in Cleveland media than Mark Nolan,” said Keith Hotchkiss, President of iHeartMedia Cleveland. “Mark embodies the spirit of our community and is a proponent for all things Cleveland. We’re thrilled to launch ‘The Mark Nolan Show’ and are excited to have found both Jen and Krystle as contributors.”
“I’m thrilled to launch this new show on a station that means so much to Cleveland,” said Nolan. “Getting to do a morning show in your hometown is an incredible honor. I look forward to informing and entertaining the city I love for years to come.”
