At “Country 102.5” WKLB-FM Waltham/Boston, the show will replace Ayla Brown and Jonathan Wier who have exited the station. “Coyote Country 107.9” KCYE Meadview AZ/Las Vegas PD/morning host Shawn Stevens moves to middays.
The Andie Summers Show features Summers, who has been with WXTU since 1999, Jeff Kurkjian, Producer Donnie Black and Assistant Producer Shannon Boyle. Kurkjian previously spent four years in mornings at KCYE before moving to Philadelphia in 2022.
Beasley Chief Content Officer Justin Chase said, “Andie Summers has been beloved by loyal fans in Philly for decades and the show brand has only improved in recent years with the addition of Jeff Kurkjian, Donnie Black and Shannon Boyle. I have no doubt that Country radio listeners in Boston and Vegas will fall in love with this amazing cast.”
Ayla Brown had been with WKLB since December 2018. A former American Idol contestant, Brown has released multiple Country albums and spent four years on the women’s basketball team at Boston College. Wier was on his second stint in mornings at WKLB returning last October after previously co-hosting with Brown from September 2019 until being laid off in October 2022. He previously spent his career mostly in Talk formats, spending seven years in late mornings and then evenings at KMBZ-FM Kansas City and at WSKY Gainesville FL. The move leaves no local full-time air talent at WKLB as midday host Carolyn Kruse will retire on Thursday, August 28 and afternoon host Jackson Blue was let go in the company’s May layoffs.
