You Can't Hide Your Ryan Eyes:
Westwood One Hot Country national afternoon host Ryan Fox will rejoin Cumulus KPLX/Dallas Sept. 12, this time as part of the Wake Up With The Wolf morning show with incumbent co-host Tara Ward. He succeeds Brian Moote, who departed in March and subsequently joined iHeartMedia WUBL/Atlanta for mornings (CAT 5/23). “We’re thrilled to add another true Texan to the Wolf team," says PD Mike Preston. "Ryan’s market knowledge, love of country music and skill as a great broadcaster will make him the perfect co-host of our show.” Prior to joining Westwood One nine years ago (CAT 5/18/13), Fox spent two years in mornings at KKGO/Los Angeles (CAT 2/2/11), preceeded by his first run at KPLX during which he was Asst. Dir./Production and handled afternoon traffic and swing on-air duties. Reach Fox here. Westwood One VP/GM Network Formats George King has begun the process of finding Fox's replacement; see posting here.
