Ford Upped To MD At Long Island’s Wolf

• Well, that was quick — less than eight weeks after joining Connoisseur Media Country WWWF (103.1 The Wolf)/Long Island as afternoon talent, award-winning major market pro Kelly Ford has been awarded Music Director stripes.

Ford joined the Wolf pack on August 1, already a familiar voice to Country listeners in the Tri-state area, thanks to her run as the only solo female morning show in the history of Country radio in New York City when she anchored mornings on the former WNSH/New York. Ford is also host of Beasley/Key Networks-syndicatedBackstage Country heard on 80 stations across the U.S. — including The Wolf.

“I’m beyond excited to step into the role of Music Director at 103.1 The Wolf,” Ford said. “It feels like a natural evolution in my career, allowing me to deepen the relationships I’ve built over the years in Country radio and Nashville. I’m pumped to collaborate with our amazing team under the leadership of [PD] Patrick Shea to help shape The Wolf into a beloved heritage station that resonates with our listeners and showcases the incredible talent in our genre.”

Shea remarked, “It’s become hard to count how many times I’ve heard, ‘Wow, I love Kelly so much. You’re lucky to have her.’ We couldn’t agree more. Our team is lucky to have her, and Long Island is lucky to have her.”

David Bevins, COO of Connoisseur Media, commented, “Kelly Ford is a true industry powerhouse. We are thrilled to have her at 103.1 The Wolf. Her passion for Country music and her immediate connection with our listeners is an invaluable asset as we continue to grow our presence across Long Island.”
