This is a great opportunity to take it to… the next level™, with the great chemistry between them. You can feel it; and it feels fun.” Kollins will continue to do 3-6pm on News-Talk-Sports sister 1340 WJOL.
Kollins said, “I can’t tell you how excited I am to join Lisa Jordan on The Star Morning Show. We truly will reach to the stars, and grow the fun to new heights. I’m extremely grateful that Alpha Media brought some really innovative minds together, to allow me to continue my afternoon talk show at WJOL and to add mornings on Star 96.7.” Jordan added, “I’m pretty darned thrilled that this is our new direction. And I’m grateful to welcome Kevin to the morning team. He and I are really looking forward to ‘putting the pedal to the metal,’ to see how to make each morning truly enjoyable and informative — you know… awesome.”
