New Orleans Parties With ‘The Crewe’
• Cumulus Media New Orleans dropped its simulcast of Urban AC 102.9 KMEZ on 106.7 (the former Old School 106.7) and in that spot launched a new Classic Hits station boasting a distinctively New Orleans flair — say hello to KKND (106.7 The Krewe).
106.7 The Krewe’s new morning show will be helmed by New Orleans icon, Spud McConnell. The Spud Show will debut on Monday, January 14 and air weekdays from 6-10am. Pat Galloway, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus New Orleans, said, “Everything about this radio station will be New Orleans! Incredible Classic Hits from the ’70s and ’80s, a logo like a Mardi Gras doubloon, and a morning show that features a New Orleans icon, Spud McConnell! New Orleanians will love it!”
Paul Cannell, PD of KKND, commented, “What a great way to kick off the New Year! This 100,000-watt Classic Hits station, featuring incredible personalities like Spud — and the best music ever made — is sure to be a hit here in New Orleans. We couldn’t be more excited, and we know that listeners and advertisers will love the way 106.7 The Krewe sounds!”
McConnell remarked, “Glad to be back on the radio at KKND. Nobody knows New Orleans like The Krewe from right here at home! I’m riding ‘shotgun’ with y’all every morning — getting the day started with your phone calls on the top news stories, a couple laughs, and great tunes to rock rush hour. Plus, time, traffic and weather to keep you on track. The Krewe 106.7 is Where Y’at, Baby!”
