Jubal Comes Home To Kiss FM/Seattle
• iHeartMedia Top 40 KBKS (106.1 Kiss FM)/Seattle announced the impending August launch of The Jubal Show, starring popular market vet Jubal Fresh, best known as half of the long-running syndicated Brooke & Jubal morning show until earlier this year.
Jubal will be joined by his wife, Alex Fresh, and additional hosts TBA at a later date. The move marks a return to 106.1 Kiss FM for Jubal, where he spent the first years of his career. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Jubal on his next endeavor and welcome him to iHeartMedia Seattle,” said Robert Dove, Market President for iHeartMedia Seattle. “Jubal’s ability to cultivate a diverse fan base across America, but most importantly, right here in Seattle, was just something we could not miss. I’m excited to welcome him and Alex to the team!”
“We are just trying to give the people what they want,” said Maynard, EVP of Programming for iHeartMedia. “And they want JUBAL!”
Jubal said, “I’m going back to Kiss because when I left 10 years ago, I didn’t get the chance to clean out my desk, and I just want my favorite pen back. Oh, and also the amazing opportunity to work for, and with, the best in the business at iHeartMedia. I’m constantly trying to evolve and grow and find new innovative ways to entertain my audiences and iHeart is always on the cutting edge. This new chapter is going to be bananas. Plus, I get my pen back!”
• Concurrent with the announcement of Jubal’s return, KBKS has parted company with morning duo Carla Marie & Anthony and midday personality Molly Mesnick.
