Walk-In Phoenix:
Townsquare KDBL/Yakima, WA Brand Mgr./morning host Gunner Jackson and co-host Cheyenne Davis are joining Entercom KMLE/Phoenix for Gunner & Cheyenne mornings. They succeed Maria Knight and Chad Mitchell, who exited in October after eight months (CAT 10/23). "Together, [Jackson and Davis] will bring a ton of energy and positivity to the show and are the perfect hosts to help our listeners begin their mornings," says SVP/MM Dave Pugh. Jackson recently announced plans to depart KDBL after two years (CAT 12/3). His prior career stops include Top 40 KBKS/Seattle and KUJ/Tri-Cities, WA, Country KYSN/Wenatchee, WA and Country KIQK/Rapid City, SD. Davis launched her radio career at KDBL in 2018.
