KRLD/Dallas Makes Morning Moves

• Audacy announced morning and midday moves on KRLD-AM (NewsRadio 1080 KRLD)/Dallas, most notably the addition of format veteran Joe Kelley as the new host of The KRLD Morning News, weekdays from 5-10am CT, effective July 22. It was concurrently announced that Mike Rogers will move to 10am-noon CT and host a long-form news-oriented talk show. A 32-year veteran of KRLD, Rogers previously served as the co-anchor of The KRLD Morning News and produces his award-winning daily feature, The Other Side of the News.

Kelley arrives in Dallas after 18 years in Orlando, where he most recently served as News Director of CMG News-Talk WDBO. It’s also a return to DFW for Kelley, who was on-air at KLIF and later, WBAP in the early 2000s.

“We’re proud to unveil the next phase of KRLD’s new-look lineup by adding Joe Kelley and moving local favorite Mike Rogers to middays,” said Drew Anderssen, Audacy News & Talk VP and Brand Manager of KRLD and Texas State Networks. “Mike has resonated with our listeners for over three decades, and we have no doubt he will continue to provide informative, relevant content to them in middays. We’re equally excited to welcome Joe Kelley, who, with his rich background in news and multi-platform content distribution, will bring a wealth of experience and passion to our morning news.”

“I’m honored to join the esteemed KRLD brand and embrace the responsibility of upholding the legacy crafted by generations of broadcasters,” said Kelley. “Returning to Texas — a place that resonates with familiarity and warmth — fills me with great enthusiasm. I look forward to further elevating KRLD’s prominence in the North Texas community.”
