Cumulus’ flagship Country station in New York City, NASH FM 94.7/WNSH, will launch its new morning drive show Kelly Ford in the Morning, on Monday, February 4. The move marks a return to New York City and to NASH FM 94.7 for Ford, formerly the Nashville-based co-host of Westwood One’s nationally syndicated Country morning show Ty, Kelly and Chuck (now The Ty Bentli Show). Ford helped launch NASH FM 94.7 in 2013 as its first midday host, before moving to Nashville in 2015 to join “America’s Morning Show” for Westwood One. Kelly Ford in the Morning will air weekdays, 6 a.m.-10 a.m.
Chad Lopez, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus New York, said: “We are thrilled to have a talented, recognizable name in country music at the helm of our New York–centric morning show. We welcome Kelly back to NYC in a big way, and so will our loyal and passionate country music fans and advertising partners.”
John Foxx, Program Director, NASH FM 94.7, said: “Kelly has built amazing relationships and has created a strong bond with our listeners in New York and New Jersey. Her history in the format and passion for the music really sets Kelly up to create a fun and unique experience around country music and this city. It’s exciting having Kelly Ford lead morning drive at NASH FM 94.7.”
