Granger Smith To After MidNite: Wheelhouse artist Granger Smith will take over as host of Premiere Network's nationally syndicated After MidNite next month, following yesterday's announced departure of Cody Alan (CAT 12/7). As an artist, Smith has landed two top 10 hits, including the No. 1 "Backroad Song" in 2016. He is also known for his alter-ego "Earl Dibbles, Jr.," whose character will contribute content to the radio show. Smith will continue to tour and host his Granger Smith Podcast. “I’m incredibly honored to take the reins of After MidNite!” he says. “The unique opportunity to bring great music and speak to such a wide variety of listeners from 12am to 6am can have a profound impact on people’s lives and that responsibility is not lost on me. I’m so excited to get started!”
