Seattle Wolfpack Adds KMLE
Prodigal Sun: Audacy KKWF/Seattle's The Morning Wolfpack (Matt McAllister, Gabe Mercer and “Captain Ron” Koons) add afternoons at sister KMLE/Phoenix effective today (10/28). They succeed RVP/Country and KMLE/KKWF Brand Mgr. Drew Bland (on-air as Drew Blando), who shifts to the 10 am-noon slot at KMLE for now. The move marks a return to the market for McAllister, who previously did mornings on crosstown KNIX for nine years before joining KKWF in 2017 (CAT 9/26/17). Mercer has been hosting middays at KMLE since 2022, and joined The Morning Wolfpack that same year (CAT 9/1/22). Koons joined KKWF as morning show producer in 2022 after a three-year stint in mornings at KUKN/Kelso, WA (CAT 8/17/22). Reach Mercer here and Koons here. Watch McAllister poke some fun at himself and his return to the market here.
