KNUC's Fitz In The Morning Ends: Hubbard KNUC/Seattle’s Fitz In The Morning is set to end in coming weeks with host Fitz shifting to focus all efforts on the nationally syndicated Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40 With Fitz. Morning co-hosts Claire Beverly, Drew Brownfield, Bryant “Ryder” Konold and Shade Giles have exited. “We look forward to writing a new chapter for [KNUC] next year and are working on plans now,” says OM Scott Mahalick. “We are glad to continue being the flagship radio station for CT40 With Fitz and look forward to him playing the hits for years to come.” Adds Fitz, “While I will dearly miss the daily interaction with my Seattle listeners, I’m truly excited to focus my attention on continuing the tradition of CT40 and bringing it into the next decade with fun, captivating new features, emotion and remembering the stars of yesterday while introducing the country stars of tomorrow.”

Fitz joined last April (CAT 4/15/19) and took the reins of CT40 last December (CAT 12/19/19). Beverly was brought aboard the year prior (CAT 2/15/18) as part of the morning trio consisting of Tim Leary and Karen “Red” Daiss. Brownfield has been a member of Fitz’ team since 2006, first at crosstown KKWF and then with syndicated The Fitz Show prior to the team’s arrival at KNUC. Konold joined last year, and Giles has been with the cluster since 2013.
