Lesley commented, “I’ve gone country! I’m excited to start this new chapter with SummitMedia and WCYQ and help bring great country radio to East Tennessee. Plus, these Smoky Mountain views will never get old!”
SummitMedia EVP/Programming John Olsen said, “Brodie is a smart programmer, an outstanding air talent and a proven leader who knows how to build strong brands and connect with listeners. He’s a great fit for our Knoxville team, and we’re excited to have him leading these four stations while bringing his energy to middays on 100.3 The Wolf.”
Lesley fills the vacancy created by the recent exit of former WCYQ PD/midday host Matt Cooper.
