Michigan’s Own Ken Evans!
• Ken Evans is now safely aboard as the new morning co-host on Cumulus Top 40 WHTS (105-3 Hot FM)/Grand Rapids, MI, plugging in across from Rachael Gray weekday mornings from 6-10am. Evans arrives fully equipped with a lengthy market equity that includes seven years in mornings across the street at iHeartMedia rival WSNX until January of this year. He’s also worked in town at WMAX (the former i96) as well as at WKFR/Kalamazoo, MI.
Jeff Cartwright, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Grand Rapids-Muskegon, MI, said, “We are excited at the direction 105-3 Hot FM will take with Ken now in our Cumulus Grand Rapids family. It’s going to be a lot of fun hearing the new evolution of the Hot FM Morning Show with Ken joining Rachael in the morning.” OM Lori Bennett remarked, “Ken has incredible insight into the lifestyle of the local audience. His wickedly perceptive sense of humor, paired with Rachael’s equally excellent market heritage and genuine, engaging personality will make this ‘live and local’ radio show a must-hear in West Michigan!”
Evans exclaimed, “I can’t wait to talk to the West Michigan audience once again here at my new home on Grand Rapids’ 105-3 Hot FM. They have a stellar local management team focused on great content for West Michigan and serving the local audience. It would have been a mistake to pass up an opportunity to work with Rachael Gray, one of the market’s top talents!” Evans fills the morning slot most recently occupied by former PD Kevin “Gravy” Canup, who left earlier this week.
