To Infinity & Beyond For Knoxville’s Marc & Kim
• We want to send our best wishes to Marc Anthony and Kim Hansard, who just inked a swell new multi-year extension to anchor The Marc & Kim Show, now kicking off their 24th year in morning drive on SummitMedia Top 40 WWST (Star 102.1)/Knoxville, TN! We had last noted their 20th anniversary in early 2021.
“We are so happy to work with [EVP of Programming] Randy Chase and President of Knoxville Ops Kelsey Gresham to get the deal done,” Anthony tells RAMP. For his part, Chase noted, “Re-signing Marc & Kim is not just a strategic move; it’s an investment in the cornerstone of our success. Securing them is not just about retaining talent; it’s about safeguarding the critical success factor that Marc & Kim represent for WWST.”
Anthony added, “This deal will get me close to reaching a goal that I set for myself at the beginning of my morning career — I grew up in Washington, DC listening to radio hosts who had been on the air for 30 years at their station. That’s what I desire to achieve here. Thanks to Randy and Kelsey, I’m closer to achieving that goal!”
Anthony also let us know that The Marc and Kim Show is now the longest-running morning show in Knoxville history. “I know, I know,” he said. “That’s like being named ‘Prettiest Girl at Dollar General,’ but we’ll take it!” Your sincere congrats may be sent directly to marc.anthony@summitmediacorp.com.
