BN Recap: Rainey In, Smith Steps Down
Night Moves: "I appreciate the opportunity to work with the pros at Cumulus Country’s Nashville nerve-center," says the incoming host of Country Nights Live with Bev Rainey. "From the moment I began in Country radio, it’s been my dream to broadcast nationally, live from the capital of country music." The KRST/Albuquerque PD/midday host starts her new, five hour show Dec. 31, as Nights With Elaina's Elaina Smith steps down (see below). Also departing is Exec. Producer Jackie Stevens. No word on plans for the position in Albuquerque.
