Kelly Ford: Free Agent

• Cumulus Media’s syndicated Ty, Kelly & Chuck morning show is now just Ty & Chuck, as RAMP has learned that co-host Kelly Ford exited on Tuesday after five years with the company, the last three in Nashville.

Ms. Ford famously spent 20+ years as morning co-host with KYGO/Denver until early 2013, when she was initially hired by Cumulus as the inaugural midday personality at the launch of company’s NASH FM flagship, WNSH (NASH FM 94.7)/New York. In December 2015 Ford was awarded a transfer to the company’s NASH Campus in Nashville to become co-host of what was then America’s Morning Show, hosted at the time by Blair Garner and co-host Chuck Wicks. In September 2016, Ty Bentli assumed lead hosting duties as Garner transitioned into hosting The Blair Garner Show in overnights.

There has been no formal word yet on a possible replacement for Ford. In the meantime, Ms. Ford can be reached at thekellyford@gmail.com.
