Joyce Driving Atlanta Home

Cumulus Media has named Brian Joyce as the new afternoon host on WYAY (NewsRadio 106.7)/Atlanta. Joyce’s show will air weekdays from 3-6pm, starting Monday, February 13. Joyce will continue to host the 1-3pm show on sister WGOW (Talk Radio 102.3)/Chattanooga, TN, where he regularly outperforms Rush Limbaugh. Joyce grew up in Boston and worked for several New England radio stations, including WRKO/Boston.

Sean Shannon, VP/Market Manager for Cumulus Media-Atlanta said: “We live in a world where dialogue on matters of substance has become increasingly difficult, with politically-slanted News/Talk outlets and social media platforms that feed consumers with stories that confirm their existing political belief systems. NewsRadio 106.7 breaks that confounding and polarizing mold. We are committed to delivering a forum ruled not by any agenda or by an algorithm, but by the unique value we can create for our listeners. We present multiple sides of the story when we’re delivering the news, ensuring we both inform existing opinions and provoke opposing opinions on every side of the story. In the process, we create a rare media experience facilitating respectful and spirited discourse where there is as much value in listening as there is in talking.”

WYAY PD Greg Tantum said, “From Shannon Burke to The Kimmer to now Brian Joyce, NewsRadio 106.7 provides Atlantans with a diversity of viewpoints. Brian’s background as a truck driver, teacher, bouncer, bartender, comedian and Senior Derivatives Analyst for a Fortune 20 company is a natural follow to the eclectic talents and backgrounds of our diverse news/talk team. No syndicated, one-note political mumbo jumbo here — NewsRadio 106.7 stands as a different kind of place and a stimulating and thought-provoking break from the echo chambers that populate News-Talk today.”
