WTDY/Philly Wakes Up With ‘Coop & Casey’

• Entercom announces a new morning show for WTDY/Philadelphia — major market pro Sean “Coop” Tabler and Philly native Casey Reed have joined forces to create the new Coop & Casey morning show. “We are so excited to bring Coop to Philly and to welcome Casey back to the 96.5 TDY family,” said David Yadgaroff, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Philadelphia. “Together, their focus on all things Philadelphia, along with their infectious energy is just what WTDY’s listeners are looking for in the morning.”

Tabler most recently did mornings at Max Media Country WGH-FM (93.7 The Eagle)/Norfolk, VA. Prior to joining WGH-FM in January 2016, Tabler did mornings on former CBS Radio Top 40 WDZH (98.7 AMP Radio)/Detroit. His previous major market resume includes WYCD/Detroit and KKWF (100.7 The Wolf)/Seattle. “I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the incredible Entercom team in Philly,” said Tabler. “I’ve been looking forward to working with Shelly Easton and soak up her wealth of knowledge and talent. I can’t thank David Yadgaroff enough for allowing me the opportunity to work at TDY, and I’m absolutely honored to be a part of a team with Casey Reed. Her talent, hard work and dedication to Philly are unmatched.”

The new gig also marks a return to the 96.5 frequency for Reed, who previously spent nine years in middays and afternoons at the station when it was Beasley Rhythmic WRDW (Wired 96.5). She most recently served as MD and evening personality across the street at iHeartMedia Top 40 WIOQ (Q102). “I can’t describe how it feels to have come full-circle and be back at 96.5 where I started my on-air career,” said Reed. “Shelly Easton is second-to-none when it comes to leadership, so it’s an honor to be working with her again as well as with David Yadgaroff and everyone at Entercom in my hometown. Teaming with Sean is an absolute pleasure. I doubt there’s another morning talent as hard-working, forward-thinking and humble as he is.”
