Radio stations around the country are still grappling with how to replace the late Rush Limbaugh. 102.3 KRMG in Tulsa, Oklahoma is opting to replace Limbaugh’s show with Mark Kaye.
Kaye is based in Jacksonville, Florida where he hosts a talk show on 104.5 WOVK. Kaye was a longtime morning show host on a CHR station before making the jump to news/talk.
“As a life-long fan of Rush Limbaugh, I am still adjusting to a world without his voice,” Kaye said. “Producing a daily show in ‘Rush’s timeslot’ is a daunting task for any broadcaster, but I am grateful to the leadership team at CMG along with 102.3 KRMG for placing their trust in me.”
Kaye’s political videos during the 2016 election, including the now famous “Hillary Clinton Song”, have been viewed by over 14 million people.
“Our stations across the country will greatly miss Rush,” CMG Radio EVP Rob Babin.” We’re pleased to have our own CMG talent to take over that show time in the Tulsa market who has a long successful track record of great ratings and building large audiences and is very compatible with the brand of entertaining and engaging programming that our listeners expect from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.”
Both KRMG and WOVK are owned by Cox Media Group.
