Call Me On Michelle Phone:
Cumulus KSCS/Dallas midday personality Michelle Rodriguez is segueing to mornings alongside Mark “Hawkeye” Louis for Hawkeye In The Morning. She succeeds Katelyn Maida, who departed earlier this month (CAT 11/5). “Michelle has been a shining star on the station for 10 years, and pairing her with Hawkeye just made sense,” says PD Mike Preston. Rodriguez moved from then-Susquehanna KPLX to then-Citadel KSCS for nights in 2011 (CAT 1/11/11) and transitioned to middays the following year. Preston tells Country Aircheck, “We are absolutely replacing Michelle in middays with a live and local talent.” Look for details regarding the application process in the coming days.
