Maney & LauRen Expand Into Memphis
• Beasley Media Group is pleased to announce a new syndication agreement with Flinn Broadcasting that will bring The Maney & LauRen Morning Show to Top 40 WHBQ (Q1075)/Memphis, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 8.
Originating from its longtime flagship, Beasley Top 40 WNKS (Kiss 95.1)/Charlotte, the addition of WHBQ marks the fourth market to broadcast the show, along with Beasley’s WHHD (HD98.3)/Augusta, GA and WAZZ (My Kiss Radio 93.5)/Fayetteville, NC.
“We’re thrilled to expand the footprint of The Maney & LauRen Morning Show with this new partnership in Memphis,” said Justin Chase, Beasley Chief Content Officer. “The show has become a proven ratings driver and brand-builder in multiple markets, and we’re confident it will quickly become a favorite among WHBQ listeners as well.”
“When it came time to choose a morning show for Q1075, my target was The Maney and LauRen Morning Show in Charlotte,” said Chris Taylor, Operations Manager of Flinn Broadcasting Memphis. “Maney was very successful here before his move a couple years ago. I like their show because they have great chemistry and are fun to listen to. I’m proud of how well he’s done. It’s a perfect fit for us. I’m excited to have Maney and LauRen on in the midsouth. Thanks to the folks at Beasley for helping put this together and sharing The Maney and LauRen Show with Memphis!”
“Memphis has a lot of history for me,” said Maney, who famously co-hosted the morning show with Drex on WHBQ before moving to Charlotte in early 2012. “My wife and I met there, and we got married at the Peabody Hotel with the world-famous ducks as our witnesses. I’m thrilled to bring our show to a city that I called home for so long!” LauRen added, “Thanks to the Beasleys for allowing our show to continue to grow its audience! I’m excited to get more ears and eyes on our content and bring lots of laughs to Q1075 in Memphis!”
