McBride And The (Afternoon) Ride: Former iHeartMedia KKIX/Fayetteville, AR afternoon host Jake McBride has joined crosstown Cumulus Classic Country KAMO for similar duties. He succeeds Tone Marconi, who makes the move to middays, which was previously music intensive. PD/morning personality “Big Dan” Hentschel remains in place. McBride exited KKIX in November amid companywide cutbacks (CAT 11/20/20). Prior to 18 years there, he spent time with Cumulus and Susquehanna. Reach McBride here.
