Leary Wakes Up In West Palm

• Hubbard Radio Country WIRK/West Palm Beach has tapped Country morning show pro Tim Leary to wake-up the market, joining forces with WIRK’s home-grown personality Chelsea Taylor.

Leary (left) returns to the Eastern time zone from Seattle, where he most recently anchored Tim Leary & The Showgram on Hubbard Country cousin KNUC (98.9 The Bull) until early April. Before that he and his former co-hosts Karen “Red” Daiss and Claire Beverly did mornings for seven years on Alpha Media Country WUBB (Bob 106.9)/Savannah, GA. Leary’s previous Country radio stops include WGAR/Cleveland, WCTK (Cat Country 98.1)/Providence and KUUB (Cub Country 94.5)/Reno, NV.

“When you meet Tim, you can’t help but feel his passion for Country radio,” said Elizabeth Hamma, SVP/Market Manager, Hubbard Radio West Palm Beach. “His enthusiasm and hunger to engage his listeners and community is just what we were looking for. Pairing Tim with Chelsea, who was born and raised locally and loves Country music as much as Tim does is sure to be winning combo.” Operations Manager Leo Baldwin added, “From the second we met Tim, we knew he was the right guy for the job, and then when he met Chelsea, we immediately knew we had the right show. We are thrilled to welcome Tim to our West Palm Beach family.”

Leary commented, “I’m so unbelievably excited to come to such a legendary station as WIRK! I can’t wait to kick the show up in West Palm with Chelsea Taylor and work with Elizabeth Hamma and Leo Baldwin! Thanks to Ginny Morris, Drew Horowitz, David Bestler, Greg Strassell and Jim Robinson… and THANK YOU to everybody who called, texted, and messaged me over these past weeks. You have no idea how much it has meant to me!”
