Parr left the show on Dec. 31 and Smith is now rolling solo as host of the updated show.
“I’ve been lucky enough to have spent the last six years of my life with the best Country music fans in the nation every single weeknight, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to continue connecting with them with a new show, Nights with Elaina,” said Smith, who also hosts the syndicated weekend show, With Elaina and the award-winning podcast, Breaking Thru with Elaina. She added, “If there is one thing I’ve learned that listeners and stars have in common, it’s that we’re all just trying to figure out life and have fun while doing it.”
“Today’s Country music genre is young, fresh and modern, and Nights with Elainafits the bill perfectly,” said Charles Steinhauer, Chief Operating Officer, Westwood One. “Elaina is a force of nature when it comes to connecting with her listeners and some of the biggest names in entertainment today. She’s ‘always-on’ and available to be heard every weekday night, over the weekend, and on-demand with her podcast and socials, making Elaina the quintessential modern broadcast personality.” For more information about Nights with Elaina, contact Country@westwoodone.com.
