Working On The Night Shift:
Westwood One syndicated Nash Nights Live will rebrand as Nights With Elaina, effective Feb. 3, with Elaina Smith as the solo host. The shift comes after the December departure of Shawn Parr (CAT 12/16/19). "Today's country music genre is young, fresh and modern, and Nights With Elaina fits the bill perfectly," says Westwood One COO Charles Steinhauer. "Elaina is a force of nature when it comes to connecting with her listeners and some of the biggest names in entertainment today. She's 'always on' and available to be heard every weekday night, over the weekend and on-demand with her podcast and socials, making Elaina the quintessential modern broadcast personality."
