Meredith Andrade is expanding her role across Beasley Media Group’s Tampa properties. She’ll add afternoon drive on 99.5 QYK while continuing her other two on-air roles.
What We Know: Andrade currently co-hosts Orlando & The Freak Show during morning drive on Wild 94.1 and hosts middays on classic hits Q105. Now, she’ll add afternoon drive on 99.5 QYK to her schedule. All three Tampa stations operate under Beasley Media Group. Andrade takes over the daypart from Kevin Cummings, known on air as KC, who spent the past two years hosting afternoons on the country station. Cummings recently exited the role.
What’s at Stake: The move gives Beasley a familiar local personality across three of its Tampa brands. Meanwhile, Andrade will hold prominent positions spanning morning, midday, and afternoon programming. The expanded presence could also strengthen her connection with listeners across Beasley’s portfolio.
What Remains Unclear: Beasley hasn’t disclosed whether Andrade’s addition will change her existing schedules at Wild 94.1 or Q105. The company also hasn’t detailed whether 99.5 QYK will make any additional programming changes following Cummings’ departure.
What It Means: Andrade becomes one of Beasley’s most visible personalities in Tampa with roles on three stations. Her addition also marks the latest change for 99.5 QYK following Cummings’ two-year run in afternoon drive.
