Taste of Country Mornings with Wood and Nicole is set to end later this month, just over 18 months after its launch.
The show — featuring Matt “Wild” Wood and Nicole Taylor — debuted in March 2024. The program is based in Nashville and is heard from 6-10 AM ET.
In a post on social media, Wood shared that the show would be ending later this month.
“I have had so much fun over the past two years, and I have gotten to work with so many amazing, talented people and got to do so many cool things,” he wrote. “No regrets. “I promise you, there is no tea. No ugly backstory, sometimes things just don’t break the way ya hope. That’s life. So if you know of anything, especially here in Nashville, holler at your boy.”
The show is owned and syndicated by Townsquare Media, utilizing the company’s Taste of Country digital brand. When it debuted, it was heard on four stations in Midland/Odessa, Texas; Grand Junction, Colorado; Quad Cities, Iowa; and Laramie, Wyoming. It expanded to be heard on nearly 20 stations before its cancellation.
Before joining the program, Matt Wood served as the morning co-host at Wild Country 99 in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Taylor, meanwhile, was a social media influencer and artist, making content with her sisters as part of an identical set of triplets. The trio featured more than 13 million followers on TikTok and nearly 13 million followers on other social media platforms.
