Switch Ever Way The Wind Blows:
Entercom Classic Hits KOOL/Phoenix morning team Maria Knight and Chad Mitchell will transition to Country sister KMLE for mornings, effective Feb. 25; current KMLE morning host Niko Petrou will take over mornings on KOOL. The switch comes on the heels of KMLE MD/morning co-host Alana Lynn's decision to not renew her contract (CAT 2/8). "This transition will allow us to maximize the content we deliver daily to this market," says Entercom/Phoenix SVP/MM Dave Pugh. "Maria and Chad are market veterans who know and love the Country format, and we are excited for KMLE listeners to get to know them." Reach Knight and Mitchell here and here, respectively.
