Cumulus Media has re-signed Grand Rapids market CHR “105.3 Hot-FM” WHTS Coopersville morning host and Country “Thunder 107.3” WTNR Greenville midday host Rachael Gray to a contract extension.

Gray has been with WHTS-FM since 2012 with multiple other partners including Ken Evans, Kevin ‘Gravy’ Canup, Jackie Green, and since January Rob Sparks. Gray joined the station in 2012 from mornings at WBTI Port Huron and also voicetracks middays for CHR “93.3 The Q” KOBQ Albuquerque. She added middays at WTNR in 2020.

Regional Vice President and Market Manager Steve Holm said, “It’s a true testament to Rachael to still be going strong after 13 years of waking up West Michigan. Her authenticity, community involvement, passion, and love for her craft shines through to listeners and clients alike, and I’m happy that she’s a part of our Cumulus West Michigan family – and will be for years to come!”

Program Director/co-host Rob Sparks said, “I’m so glad we’re continuing to grow HOT FM with Rachael holding down mornings! Rachael has been a driving force for both Cumulus Media Grand Rapids and 105.3 HOT FM for the past 13 years. To be able to continue this success for the foreseeable future makes me very happy!”
