After spending the past few months scouring the nation to find the right fit for middays, WFNZ’s search is over.
Charlotte’s top rated sports station is adding Nick Wilson and Josh Parcell to its weekday lineup. The new show will make its debut on Monday August 6. The official announcement was made this morning on the station during The Mac Attack with Chris McClain and Travis ‘T-Bone’ Hancock.
Wilson, joins WFNZ after spending the past seven years with 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland. He worked his way up the ladder at the station, taking over the evening show in 2015 when Ken Carman moved into mornings.
Parcell, is no stranger to WFNZ’s audience. He’s filled in on the station previously, and has also worked as a producer for ESPN. He also hosts a college football podcast.
The duo are taking over the WFNZ Twitter account on Thursday to answer any questions about their new show, which they revealed during the visit with The Mac Attack still does not have a name.
The midday slot became available when Chris Kroeger left the station to become the new radio play by play voice of the Charlotte Hornets.
