What They Said John Foxx, Brand Manager for New York’s Country 94.7, emphasizes the hosts’ connection with listeners. “New York Country fans are incredibly passionate about the music and the lifestyle, and Jenny, Jagger and Matt share that passion,” Foxx explains. Furthermore, he notes their “chemistry, authenticity and willingness to bring listeners into their lives will create the kind of genuine connection that makes a morning show feel like part of the family.”

What Remains Unclear The announcement provides limited detail about what prompted this programming shift. Additionally, specifics on how long the trio will maintain dual-market broadcasting remain undisclosed. Furthermore, the station hasn’t revealed audience research or performance metrics justifying the change.
