Ashley Z Returns To WKHQ/TVC
• It’s a satisfying career full-circle for Michigan native “Ashley Z” Elzinga, who has been named PD and morning personality at MacDonald Garber Top 40 WKHQ (106 KHQ)/Traverse City, MI — the station where she originally started her career doing nights a decade ago.
In making the announcement, Peter Garber, VP of Programming for MacDonald Garber, said, “We feel very blessed that Ashley has agreed to take on this new opportunity with KHQ. She is a sought-after talent in radio right now, and she chose to join KHQ because she loves the station and loves Northern Michigan. She’s a phenomenal broadcaster, an even better person, and we are confident you are going to love her as your new KHQ morning show host.”
Elzinga’s career also includes middays at WNRG (Energy 106.9)/Milwaukee, and nights at KDND (106.5 The End)/Sacramento, WWWQ (Q99.7)/Atlanta and WAKS (96.5 Kiss FM)/Cleveland, to name a few stops.
“To be able to host my first morning show at Hits 106 KHQ really is a dream come true,” Elzinga said. “I love this team and am so blessed to be back with MacDonald Garber Broadcasting for this next phase in my career. Thank you to Trish, Peter, Tad, Brian and Eric for this phenomenal opportunity and for believing in me. Let’s go, Northern Michigan!”
Along with her new gig, Elzinga continues to lend her vocal talents to VirtualJock.com, tracking nights for Hubbard Top 40 KQMV (MOViN 92.5)/Seattle and Alpha Media Top 40 KBFF (Live 95.5)/Portland, OR.
