Dex & Barbie T Double Their Reach

• SummitMedia Rhythmic WKHT (Hot 104.5)/Knoxville, TN, which, amazingly, has been without a morning show since 2003, has now remedied that situation with launch of Dex and Barbie T, weekdays from 6-10am. If those names sound familiar, that’s because the show will be graciously shared with the good citizens of Knoxville from its home base on SummitMedia Rhythmic sibling WHZT (Hot 98.1)/Greenville, SC. Mike Klein, Operations Manager of SummitMedia Greenville, said, “For the last two years Dex and Barbie T have been developing the ultimate morning show for millennials. I’m so proud of their show and accomplishments!”

A clearly delighted Chris Protzman, Market President of SummitMedia Knoxville, remarked, “I’m delighted to have this highly topical, entertaining show now on Hot 104.5. Dex and Barbie T will give the listeners a must-listen experience each and every morning. Knoxville is going to love these guys!” Kevin “Gravy” Canup, OM of SummitMedia Knoxville, added, “We are happy to have two incredibly talented people waking up Knoxville every weekday morning on Hot 104.5 It is the show that everyone will repeat to their friends and co-workers all day!”

Dex commented, “I’m so happy that we get to launch our show in the market where I got my start in radio. I’m thankful to our program and management team at Summit for believing in us and supporting this show! Barbie and I are fortunate to be able to wake up every morning and do what we love.” Barbie T added, “Dreams definitely come true! This is a wonderful opportunity that I’m blessed to be a part of! Knoxville, get ready!”
