Cumulus Media’s Westwood One announced the launch of a new national nighttime CHR music program, Nightly with Jade & Tyler, set to debut Monday, January 5, 2026. The show will air Monday through Friday from 7 p.m. to midnight, delivering five hours of Top 40 hits, entertainment, and audience interaction.
The program pairs music personalities Jade Jones and Tyler Frye in a lively format designed to engage listeners both on-air and across social media. According to Westwood One, the show blends non-stop hit music with “real talk” and trending social content, offering a connection that goes beyond the broadcast.
Jade Jones, who joins Westwood One from Q99.7 in Atlanta, brings a focus on music, entertainment, and culture, with a particular commitment to representation and individuality. She empowers audiences, especially women and minority communities, while keeping listeners both inspired and entertained.
“I’ve got butterflies! I’m excited to bring my voice, heart, and perspective to a national audience,” Jones said. “I want our listeners to feel like they genuinely know us, like friends they check in with every night. Nightly with Jade & Tyler is a safe space for relatable chaos, exciting life moments, real conversations, and growth. We want people calling in, joining the conversation, and feeling seen, heard, and like they belong.”
Tyler Frye, a Chicago native and lifelong Bears fan, has built a career across major markets. His stops include Tampa, Denver, Raleigh, Houston, and Kansas City. He joins Westwood One from 107.3 The Vibe in Kansas City. Frye is known for his deep knowledge of current music, relatable personality, and enthusiasm for connecting with listeners.
“This is the ultimate dream of mine; I am forever grateful and blessed for this amazing opportunity,” Frye said. “I can’t wait to co-host with Jade, who is already a mega superstar. This is going to be fun. I want to thank Donna Baker, Leslie Whittle, Doug Hamand, Susan Stephens and Brian Philips for this giant opportunity.”
Collin Jones, President of Westwood One, said the show adds a “fresh, dynamic edge” to weeknights. “Jade and Tyler bring an unmistakable spark to weeknights. Their mix of music, personality, and real-time social connection gives stations a fresh, dynamic edge audiences feel immediately. If it’s trending, they’re on it. If it’s hot, they’re playing it. We’re thrilled to kick off the new year with a show that brings this level of energy and fun to listeners nationwide.”

I like sports shows that give me a lot of information but top 40 hits, that’s not sports talk. Wild Cat 1290AM just went down the tube. I have been listening since 2014 when I moved here from Chicago. Now it’s a mess. Guess I’ll be looking for a new station
