Wolf Wants You To Wake Up Fast

• Cumulus Country KPLX (99.5 The Wolf)/Dallas/Fort Worth has acquired the talents of market vet Nathan Fast as the host of Nathan Fast and The Wake Up With The Wolf Show, which debuts at 5am on Monday, Sept. 17. Fast will plug in across the console from longtime co-host Lisa Taylor, and he succeeds Trey Morgan, who exits.

Fast most recently did mornings across the street on former CBS Radio Top 40 KVIL (AMP 103.7) until last November, when new owner Entercom flipped it to ALT 103.7. Prior to that, he did nights on iHeartMedia Top 40 KHTS (Channel 933)/San Diego, weekends on KIIS-FM/Los Angeles and was also a contributor to the iHeartRadio Countdown. Fast began his radio career at KSAS/Boise, ID.

Mac Daniels, PD of 99.5 The Wolf, said, “Nathan is an amazing creative talent wrapped around the passion and work ethic of four people. With his leadership skills and winning spirit, we’re excited about the bright future for Nathan Fast and The Wake Up With The Wolf Show on one of America’s leading Country music brands. We’re excited to hear him and Lisa Taylor together in the morning.”

Fast commented, “I have so much respect for the history of 99.5 The Wolf and I’m thrilled to have the privilege of waking up Dallas/Fort Worth every morning on this great station. I want to thank Mac Daniels, Dan Bennett, Doug Hamand and Mike McVay for entrusting me with the keys to one of Country’s most legendary brands. Time to get to work!”
