WFNZ has been on a roll over the past year becoming a consistent ratings performer with Men 25-54. To take further advantage of the brand’s momentum, the radio station is switching its midday and afternoon shows.
As announced during Monday’s handoff with “The Mac Attack” hosted by Chris McClain and Travis ‘T-Bone’ Hancock, Chris Kroeger is moving from afternoons to middays. Kroeger’s new show “Kroeger in the Midday” will air weekdays 10a-2p ET.
Kyle Bailey and Frank Garcia will also switch roles. The popular midday team will move into afternoons, taking over weekdays from 2p-6p ET.
The station says the moves were made to play to both shows strengths and further capitalize on listening opportunities. Kroeger, Garcia and Bailey have been key players and a huge part of the brand’s resurgence. BSM wishes them well in their new dayparts.
