Cumulus is seeking a new host for WGKX mornings stating, “Are you creative, full of energy, ready to share your life and engage with our listeners with phoners and social media, become part of the local community and wake me up with laughs and fun? If you are a team player and lights up a room when you walk in, then we have a great job for you as the new morning host of the legendary Kix-106. We can teach you about the country format so don’t let that stop you…but we can’t teach funny.
