After five years, Gunner Jackson has announced his departure as a morning host at Audacy’s Country 107.9 KMLE Phoenix, AZ.
Jackson explained the situation on Instagram, saying, “Just wanted you to hear the news from me first. I have stepped away from hosting the morning show on KMLE Country 107.9. I’ll cherish the memories and relationships I’ve been able to make with our great listeners in The Valley. My family and I will be forever grateful for the love, support and prayers we received from you when my daughter Taytem went through her battle with cancer. Now I’m going to focus on what’s best for my family and what is next for me in this industry that I love.”
Jackson and co-host Cheyenne Davis joined KMLE in December 2019 after leaving Townsquare Media Country’s “92.9 The Bull” KDBL in Yakima, WA, where they hosted the morning show, and he held the position of Brand Manager.
Davis continues to be part of the team.
His experience also includes serving as the morning show producer for Kiss 106.1” KBKS in Seattle, acting as PD and Morning Host for Country “Kissin 97.7” KYSN in Wenatchee, WA, and Kick 104” KIQK in Rapid City, SD. Additionally, he has been on-air at Top 40 “Power 99.1” KUJ-FM in Kennewick, WA.
