KOSI Makes Daytime Enhancements
• Bonneville AC KOSI 101.1/Denver announced two major daytime personality adjustments — Jackie Selby (left) moves from afternoon drive to her former midday shift, effective immediately, and Melissa Moore (right) will be crossing the hall from middays on Country sister KYGO to afternoons on KOSI, effective Tuesday September 4.
PD Jim Lawson commented, “I couldn’t be happier to have a complete professional like Jackie take over this very important daypart on KOSI 101.1. Her style and personality is perfect to entertain Denver during the workday.” Bonneville Denver VP/GM Bob Call said of Selby, “We knew getting one of Denver’s best known personalities back to KOSI two years ago would pay big dividends for our listeners and clients. Jackie has held down the No. 1 spot in afternoons with women since she arrived. Moving to midday has Jackie anchoring our most important ‘at-work’ time period and is a return to the daypart she held down so successfully on KOSI nearly ten years ago.” Selby said, “I’m honored and delighted to be moving back to the midday slot on KOSI.” Selby succeeds Denise Plante, who was recently named midday personality across the street on iHeartMedia Country KWBL (106.7 The Bull).
For Ms. Moore, the move over to KOSI is also a homecoming — she co-hosted the morning show there from 1995-2000. “Melissa’s personality and delivery is exactly what KOSI needs to remain No. 1 in afternoons,” said Lawson. “As a single working mom and blogger, she will be able to connect with listeners better than ever before on KOSI.” Bob Call commented, “Melissa has such a personable, easygoing style that is rare. Our listeners and clients will feel right at home with Melissa each afternoon. To have the best possible talent to fill PM drive on KOSI right down the hall is a huge plus. Melissa is returning to the station her father, John Irwin so successfully lead for Westinghouse years ago.”
Moore remarked, “I’m thrilled to be joining/returning to the legendary KOSI-FM for afternoon drive! I’m excited to continue working with such an extraordinary radio company — Bonneville Denver — lead by the best in Darrell Brown, Bob Call and Jim Lawson. KOSI is a chance to grow as a radio talent and connect with the listeners and community in the best city in the world!”
