The schedule starts off the same, with longtime Austin radio host Bucky Godbolt and program director Erin Hogan staying in morning drive. The changes, which feature a shuffling of existing talent begin at 10am.
Each day from 10am – noon, Jeff Howe will expand his role at The Horn and partner with Craig Way for a new late morning show. Way is the lead radio play-by-play voice of the Texas Longhorns, calling football, baseball, men’s and women’s basketball. Howe, a writer for 247Sports, said he and Way will rotate between hosting solo and as a duo.
Chad Hastings departs afternoon drive to partner with midday host Trey Elling from noon – 3pm. Elling filled the 11am – 1pm timeslot with co-host Brad Kellner (BK) for the last three years. His new co-host, Chad Hastings is an original at 104.9 The Horn, coming in as an already established sports radio personality to help launch the station in 2009.
BK moves from middays to afternoon drive, joining Kevin Dunn and Rod Babers each day from 3 – 7pm. Dunn is an incumbent on The Horn’s afternoon show, with Babers moving over after previously hosting weekdays from 1 – 3pm. BK joined The Horn as an intern in 2015. In addition to hosting middays from 11am – 1pm, BK also regularly contributed to Babers’ 1 – 3pm show. Dunn has been with 104.9 The Horn since joining Hastings in afternoon drive in 2015.
