Beasley Media Country 99.5 WQYK St. Petersburg/Tampa has appointed Kevin ‘KC’ Cummings as afternoon host.

Cummings has been working as a fill-in host at the station after previously spending 23 years at sister Rhythmic CHR “Wild 94.1” WLLD Lakeland until last August where he was co-hosting afternoons as ‘Stiffy’ with Broderick ‘Buckwheat’ Scott after rising up the ranks through promotions to weekends, nights, and afternoons.

President and Market Manager Ron deCastro said, “It so exciting to be able to bring back a great talent and reimagine that person in a new way. Adding KC to the top country station in Tampa brings his creativity to new listeners.”

“After a comprehensive nationwide search and meeting some great talent, we realized that the best person for the job was right here in our building,” said station Program Director Rick Thomas. “KC Lives and breathes the contemporary country lifestyle. He has a local and authentic presentation and will be a great asset to our 99.5 QYK team.”

“I’m glad to be back with Beasley and very excited to begin my country journey,” said KC.
