‘Morning Buzz’ Re-Ups Again At iHeart NH
• Looks like this Greg & The Morning Buzz show is starting to catch on… iHeartMedia Portsmouth & Manchester, NH is proud to announce that its heritage, popular morning show, Greg & the Morning Buzz has signed on for another four years of service at Rock duo WHEB/Portsmouth and WGIR (Rock 101)/Manchester. The long-running show features host Greg Kretschmar (center) and co-hosts Scott “Roadkill” McMullen, Laura Boyce, Kelly Brown and Kayla Winsor. Kretschmar started at WHEB 36 years ago, and if we did our napkin math correctly, this new deal will bring him to an even 40 years at the same station!
Kretschmar said, “We’re thrilled to continue being a part of New England mornings with iHeartMedia! Our show is a family, and our audience is an extension of that. We’re connected to them. We’ve been through a lot together, and we’re thankful we all get to do what we love in a place that we love.” Besides, he added, “I don’t think I’m qualified to do anything else!”
Joe Graham, Market President of iHeartMedia NH, remarked, “Our listeners have made Greg & The Morning Buzz part of their lives and our clients have seen incredible success by advertising on the #1 Morning Show in New Hampshire! As professionals, they are unequalled — as individuals, they are simply awesome people!” VP of Programming Tim Moore added, “Greg & The Morning Buzz is simply the best morning show I have ever heard in any market. Period. They don’t just win — they dominate. And when podcasts of the show rank in the Top 25 nationally on iTunes, it’s clear that they are growing new legions of fans every day!”
• It was concurrently announced that Greg & The Morning Buzz and iHeartMedia have also inked a strategic sales partnership whereby iHeartMedia will sell newly created sales and sponsorship opportunities on Kretschmar’s “8 Media” assets, which, in addition to radio, include podcasts, streaming, video, social media, database marketing, website/app integration and live events.
Greg and The Morning Buzz is heard on radio stations throughout New Hampshire and Vermont and heard digitally throughout New England. Morning Buzz syndication info is available through The Radio Button Network and Adam Goodman at ALG@RadioButtonNetwork.com.
