Insert ‘Morning Wood’ Joke Here

• Mark Zander, PD of Mid-West Family Mainstream Rock WXRX (104/9 The X)/Rockford, IL is thrilled to announce he’s hired a new morning co-host — Kevin Wood will join existing host Lori Williams for the reboot of The Morning X in October.

Wood (left) is stand-up comic, writer and producer who spent the past five years with Alpha Media in Joliet, IL as cluster Production Director and weekend air talent on WRXQ (Q Rock 100.7). Wood and Zander also share some radio history — Zander originally hired him as part-time/fill-in at Alpha Media’s suburban Chicago Classic Hits station, WERV (95.9 The River)/Aurora, IL.
