‘Eliott & Nina’ Cleared For Takeoff
• Finally — Westwood One confirms the worst-kept secret in showbiz and formally announces its new Top 40 7-midnight show — Eliott & Nina debuts Monday, Jan. 17, live from Westwood One’s Atlanta studios, replacing The Zach Sang Show, which ended Dec. 31.
The new show is hosted by a couple of major market veterans, Eliott King and Nina Hajian. Hajian previously co-hosted mornings on Audacy Top 40 B96/Chicago, former CBS Radio Top 40 WBMP (92.3 AMP Radio)/New York and KZZO (Now 100.5)/Sacramento, while King’s resume includes MD/nights at iHeartMedia Top 40 WIOQ (Q102)/Philadelphia and nights & afternoons at Radio One’s WNOW (RadioNOW 100.9)/Indianapolis.
“Eliott and Nina are poised to reimagine and recharge nighttime CHR,” said Brian Philips, EVP of Content and Audience. “Bringing chemistry, comedy and cultural relevance, they will light up every platform with this fast-paced new entry.”
Suzanne Grimes, EVP of Marketing for Cumulus Media and President of Westwood One, noted, “Eliott and Nina are the perfect duo to anchor our new nationally syndicated evening show. Combined, they have covered both coasts and every corner of this country and know better than anyone how to reach the young adult demo and build a loyal following nationwide.”
Eliott & Nina is available via satellite receiver. For more information about the show, contact Todd Alan at 212-735-1107 or talan@westwoodone.com.
