Coyote Howls In The Morning

• Beasley Country KCYE (102.7 The Coyote)/Las Vegas has created a brand new morning show using a scientifically formulated blend of new and existing employees — please welcome “the new guy,” Jeff Kurkjian, who most recently co-hosted the Jeremiah & Jeff morning show on Entercom Hot AC WQAL (Q104)/Cleveland. Kurkjian will be joined in this new adventure by Aimee Montgomery, who unplugs from her midday shift cross the hall on AC sister Lite 101.5 (KCYE-HD2). The all-new Jeff and Aimee debuts Monday, March 12.

“We’re firmly committed to making The Coyote, a market leader and the #1 Country station in Las Vegas,” said VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon. “Jeff’s addition to our team puts us in the fast lane to get there even faster. It’s going to be fun to watch how he and Aimee create some magic on the air.” PD Shawn Stevens said, “Beasley Media Group is always looking for the best talent in radio and Jeff is the real deal. He’s smart, versatile and extremely passionate about radio. Jeff and Aimee will bring fun and entertainment to our local community, known as ‘The Entertainment Capital of the World.'”

Kurkjian commented, “I can’t imagine doing anything but local radio. I’m looking forward to connecting every morning with the casino workers getting off third shift, the moms taking their kids to school and everyone in between. I’m eager to get out and about in Las Vegas, especially coming from the frozen tundra of the Northeast!” Prior to joining WQAL in July 2015, Kurkjian hosted the Z Morning Zoo at Syracuse University’s radio industry farm team station, WJPZ (Z89)/Syracuse.

Montgomery said, “I’m more than thrilled to be joining Jeff on team Coyote, while still being able to call Beasley Las Vegas my home. We are going to have a lot of fun, and I’m back to where I’m most comfortable — waking up at 3:30am! I’m extremely thankful to Dennis Gwiazdon, [OM] John Candelaria and Shawn Stevens for this amazing opportunity.”
