With the retirement of John Boy & Billy later this month, 103.5 WIMZ is going local, adding Jay Mac and Drake Meredith to morning drive.
The new duo will debut on Monday, January 5th.
Currently, Jay Mac works the night shift for the Midwest Communications Knoxville classic rock station. He has spent the past 15 years with 103.5 WIMZ.
Meanwhile, Meredith has worked at the station since 2019, hosting a weekend how.
“With wonderful memories of The Night Show, and a heart full of gratitude and love, I am absolutely thrilled to say ‘Good Morning, East Tennessee!’” Mac said. “Buckle Up, buttercup, this is going to be one wild and crazy ride!”
The announcement of the new morning show comes after The John Boy & Billy Show announced that they would end the program at the end of the calendar year. The Premiere Networks show hit national syndication in 1993, reaching more than 100 affiliates at its peak. The end of the show comes after the station departed its former flagship home — 99.7 The Fox in Charlotte — last year.
