Bob & Sheri Land New Charlotte Home
• Well, that didn’t take long — less than three weeks after exiting their 29-year Charlotte flagship WLNK under new owner Radio One, Beasley Media Group has smartly acquired the syndicated Bob & Sheri show and welcomed them to their new Charlotte HQ, AC WKQC (K104.7), weekdays from 5-8:30am ET, beginning Monday, May 17.
Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch made the on-air announcement Monday morning with K104.7’s current morning duo, Phil & Mel (Phil Harris & Melany Myers). Under the station’s new morning show structure, Phil & Mel will continue to host K104.7’s “Commercial-Free Workday Kickoff” feature at 8:30am, the second half of the morning content daily, and will also drive you home from 3-6pm. “When we heard that Bob and Sheri were going to be available, we were on it right away,” said Bill Schoening, VP/Market Manager of Beasley Charlotte. “It’s a privilege to have such iconic talent join our station. Phil and Mel are not only completely on-board with the whole move, but they were also the ones who recommended it.”
John Reynolds, Beasley VP of Music & Entertainment and Charlotte OM, noted, “Charlotte has been a very competitive morning show stage with very big local and syndicated talent. Having Bob & Sheri join our personality lineup with Phil & Mel and [PD] Jack Daniel is a huge win for the Charlotte listeners to hear great entertainment and be able to access it all in one place on K104.7!” Daniel said, “I’ve known Bob Lacey for a long time, as we worked at Jefferson-Pilot together in the ’80s, and I met Sheri shortly after they teamed up 29 years ago. They are pros and as they have said, this is the best fit possible for them and K104.7!”
Sheri Lynch commented, “Our social media pages have been blowing up ever since our departure from The Link was announced, and now they’re blowing up again! This is a move we’ve wanted to make for a long time. The entire team at K104.7 is focused on serving and entertaining Charlotte listeners.” Bob Lacey added, “I’m thrilled to be on K104-7 in Charlotte. It’s a powerful station, great folks to work with (we’ve known Program Director Jack Daniel forever!), and it’s a much better music fit for us. This is where we should be in Charlotte.”
Bob & Sheri is heard weekly across 70 radio stations in the U.S., in 170 countries on the Armed Forces Radio Network, and their podcast regularly ranks in Apple’s Top 200 comedy podcasts. “Even with millions of listeners around the world, Charlotte is Bob & Sheri’s home,” said Tony Garcia, who together with Lacey and Lynch owns NOW! Media, the company that syndicates Bob & Sheri. “We’re excited to finally be on a hometown station with music that lines up perfectly with our target demo, and even more excited to work with a team that truly embraces the show.”
