iHeartMedia New York’s 103.5 KTU (WKTU) is shifting Sean “Hollywood” Hamilton out of afternoons to host mornings. Starting September 16, Hollywood Hamilton and the KTU Morning Crew will take over the slot last held by Carolina Bermudez and Greg T.
Additional cohosts are set to be announced soon.
Hamilton has become a familiar voice to NYC radio listeners over the past three decades, starting as one of the original talent on Z100. He was also in the original 1996 lineup for KTU, bouncing back and forth between NYC and on-air stints in Los Angeles. He was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2019.
Carolina with Greg T in the Morning Show was cut in June after five years on the station.
103.5 KTU Program Director Chris Conley said, “We are ecstatic to move Hollywood Hamilton to KTU mornings. His infectious energy and passion for music will undoubtedly energize our listeners and mark an exciting new chapter for the station.”
Hamilton added, “I’ve been talking with iHeart about this opportunity for years, and now is the perfect time to make it happen. With Thea Mitchem and Chris Conley leading the charge and KTU’s renewed success, we’re in an incredible position. It’s time to bring the magic to the AM slot!”
I love Hollywood Hamilton.
I went back to listening because of the change.
He has a great energy in the morning.
BRING BACK CAROLINA AND GREG T. THEY WERE PERFECT. I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THIS STATION EVER AGAIN…..
Bring magic back to the AM? Don’t think so. Everyone loved Carolina & Greg T. I switched back to Z100. I tried to listen to the new show and I can’t do it. Part of the reason I liked Carolina and Greg T was because it wasn’t nonstop banter. I could actually listen to music. It was a nice mix and they were family friendly which is appreciated. KTU has gone down the tubes in my book. They have lost me as a listener.
I agree completely!! I will not listen to KTU or Z100 Carolina and Greg T where the best in radio!! You all have pissed off a lot of listeners by taking them off the air! They were infectious, had amazing banter, family friendly and always had smiles on their faces. And they made “Battle of The Sexes” sooo much fun! Loved it!! I miss Carolina and Greg T sooo much!! Sooooo disappointed with radio
The reason why they show flopped is because the station played a ton load of commercials & therefore the listeners went back to Elvis also the main host Carolina took to much time off to do her E show and other factors why the show failed they played music from 8:30 till 10 basically ending the show at 8:30.
Disagree completely!! Carolina was the best at handling both jobs and a true professional!
I miss Greg T & Carolina from IHeart morning show. They were a great team. Many people tuned in each day to listen to them. IHeart higher ups made a TRAGIC mistake.
Agree 100%! TRAGIC mistake for sure!! I can’t take that ego early in the morning on the new show. No magic there at all.
