Wake Up The Same, Yet Different
Cumulus Country WKHX (Kicks 101.5)/Atlanta has unveiled its new morning configuration — the newly rebranded Caddy, CJ and Ali wake-up show debuted yesterday, comprised of a trio of familiar Kicks 101.5 names — longtime morning anchor Cadillac Jack has now been joined by afternoon personality CJ Lusk and Ms. Ali Mac, who rotates up from middays. Former morning co-host Dallas McCade, who was promoted to Music Director earlier this week, is now permanently piloting the Kicks midday show.
Concurrent with the line-up changes, Kicks 101.5 has adopted the new slogan, “Georgia’s Country For Life. As helpfully explained by PD Scott Lindy, he describes the new slogan as, “A phrase that embodies what Kicks 101.5 has meant to Atlanta and North Georgia for years. Millions of country fans heard Georgia-born country stars like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown, Thomas Rhett and Billy Currington for the very first time in their lives while listening to Kicks 101.5, and that tradition continues today. The future of Country music is what our history is all about.”
The new show hit the ground running, qualifying listeners to win VIP experiences with Kicks 101.5 Country Fair 2017 artists Darius Rucker and Randy Houser and Crock Fest 2017 headliner, Toby Keith. Next week, Caddy, CJ & Ali will drop in on one unsuspecting listener and award them a VIP experience with Brantley Gilbert. Scott Lindy is currently working on hiring a new afternoon drive personality. The position and online application are posted at cumulus.com/careers.
