Morning Show Changes at Two Cumulus Stations

[David]

Time to wake the board up from its post holiday nap. 😉 Lexi and Banks are out at K-BULL 93. Mick Martin and Allen Handy are out at KBER. Additionally, recent comments on the "Utah Radio Chat" FB page confirm that all of the KOOL FM DJ's have been dismissed, which I think many of us already suspected.

Cumulus certainly hasn't wasted any time looking for a replacement morning team on KUBL. I wonder how many applicants they'll have.

Morning drive is the most important daypart. It's surprising to me that they didn't have something lined up before the change, but maybe they didn't want to tip their hand.

Honestly, in the Salt Lake market it's the only daypart left (at most stations).

Article about KBER's Mick & Allen from Inside Radio. I thought they'd been covering the morning drive shift at KBER for longer than just 34 months. IIRC, KBER was airing The Bob & Tom Show mornings prior to Mick & Allen taking over that slot.

They were. It's in the Radio Insight article you originally linked to.

I used to listen to Mick and Allen in the afternoons when Bob and Tom was on in the mornings. That's been lots of years ago, though.

Huh? CA, I'm not understanding what you're saying. The Inside Radio article says that Mick & Allen had been hosting morning drive on KBER since March 2020. According to my calculations, that's only 34 months hosting morning drive on 101.1, even though Mick & Allen had been at KBER since 2005. Their prior morning drive stint was on KURR 99.5 from 1996-2000, now known as KJMY. What am I missing here?

That was their most recent shift, yes. That was not the only time they did mornings.

Jesse James is replacing Lexi and Banks during morning drive on K-BULL 93.
