The ATL Wakes Up With Elliot In The Morning
• Cumulus Active Rock WNNX (Rock 100.5)/Atlanta has added Elliot In The Morning to its all-star line-up, weekdays from 5:44-10am ET, starting Monday, March 28. Hosted by Elliot Segal, alongside Diane Stupar, Krysten Warnes and Tyler Molnar, Elliot in the Morning is based at iHeartMedia Active Rock WWDC (DC101)/Washington and is also enjoyed weekday mornings on Audacy’s KRBZ (ALT 96.5)/Kansas City and WRXL (ALT 102.1)/Richmond, VA.
Sean Shannon, VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Atlanta, said, “We’re beyond excited to bring Elliot in the Morning to Atlanta. Elliot and his team’s ability to engage listeners with funny, relatable content is exactly what we were looking for to complete our all-star weekday lineup.” Rock 100.5 PD Axel Lowe seconds that emotion, commenting, “It’s everything we were looking for in a morning show: topical, edgy, and extremely funny. We’re excited to have Elliot in the Morning on Rock 100.5!”
A visibly excited Segal said, “I’m very excited to be joining Cumulus on Rock 100.5 in Atlanta. Thanks to Sean Shannon and Dave Milner. After spending time with them in Atlanta and talking about my style of syndication and their vision for WNNX, we all decided it was the right fit. Also, thank you to Brian Philips. Any opportunity to work with, and for, Brian is a rare opportunity that only makes you a better disc jockey or broadcaster. There is plenty of work ahead, but I look forward to getting started making Atlanta part of the EITM network.”
• The Rock 100.5 morning slot has been fairly vacant since early February, when longtime station vet “Southside” Steve Rickman moved from mornings to afternoon drive, joining forces with PD Axel Lowe to create Axel & Southside.
