Laurie DeYoung will join The Kramer Show on Mix 106.5 this week. The Country Radio Hall of Famer will co-host alongside Steve Kramer from Wednesday through Friday.
What We Know: DeYoung spent nearly four decades hosting morning drive on 93.1 WPOC in Baltimore. During that time, she became a familiar voice to generations of listeners and established herself as a fixture in the market’s country radio landscape. Now, she’ll join Kramer for three days on Mix 106.5, bringing two longtime Baltimore radio personalities together on the same program. DeYoung’s appearance will run Wednesday through Friday, with Kramer continuing to host his regular show alongside her.
What They Said: “Some people work in Baltimore radio. Laurie is part of Baltimore radio history. People didn’t just listen to her. They grew up with her, raised their families with her, and made her part of their mornings. Getting to welcome her into our studio is a pretty incredible moment. For years, we were trying to get people to choose between our shows. This week, they get both of us. I can’t wait to see where the conversations go.” -Steve Kramer
What Remains Unclear: Neither the length of DeYoung’s appearances beyond the three-day run nor whether the collaboration could lead to future guest-hosting opportunities has been established. Additional details about the topics the pair will discuss during the broadcasts also haven’t been announced.
What It Means: DeYoung’s return to the microphone alongside Kramer offers Baltimore listeners an opportunity to hear two established radio voices together. After spending nearly four decades in WPOC’s morning show, DeYoung brings a deep connection to the market and its audience. Meanwhile, the three-day pairing allows Mix 106.5 to unite listeners familiar with both personalities, creating a shared experience for audiences who previously followed their respective shows.
