New In Town(square): After cancelling its national Taste of Country Mornings show (CAT 10/13), Townsquare has split the affiliates, with nine picking up Premiere's syndicated The Bobby Bones Show, and seven airing Curt & Samm In The Morning, based out of the company's KWWK/Rochester MN, and hosted by Curt St. John and Samm Adams. St. John is a 30-year radio vet who has been with KWWK since 2012, first in afternoons before moving to mornings in 2016. He had been tracking mornings on KIIK/Quad Cities, IA-IL; KNFM/Odessa, TX; KEKB/Grand Junction, CO and KCGY/Laramie-Cheyenne, WY before they picked up Taste of Country Mornings last year (CAT 3/12/24). Adams has done mornings on KWWK since 2023, with previous stints in middays there from 2014-2019 and mornings on Top 40 sister KROC-FM from 2009-2020. Listen to Curt & Samm here.

The new Bones affiliates are KEKB; KATP/Amarillo, TX; KEAN/Abilene, TX; KGKL/San Angelo, TX; KKXK/Montrose, CO; KWFS/Wichita Falls, TX; KYSN/Wenatchee, WA; KYYZ/Williston, ND; and WJOD/Dubuque, IA. New Curt & Samm affiliates are KIIK; KNFM; KCGY; KDBL/Yakima, WA; KQBR/Lubbock, TX; KRFO/Fairbault, MN; and KUSB/Bismark, ND. Morning show plans for KWCD/Sierra Vista, AZ are TBD.

Taste Makes Haste: Townsquare's weekday Taste Of Country Mornings hosted by Matt Wood and Nicole Taylor launches tomorrow (3/13) from Nashville, airing 6-10am on TasteOfCountry.com and the ToC mobile app, as well as KIIK/Quad Cities, IA-IL; KNFM/Odessa, TX; KEKB/Grand Junction, CO and KCGY/Cheyenne, WY. Mornings on all four stations has been tracked by Townsquare's KWWK/Rochester, MN-based Curt St. John. Wood most recently hosted mornings for Leighton KZPK/St. Cloud, MN; Taylor is one of three sisters comprising Nashville-based music group/influencers Taylor Red.

Taste Of Country Mornings With Wood And Taylor joins Taste Of Country Nights With Evan Paul as one of now two national shows for Townsquare. "Our Nashville family is growing," says VP/Country Music Programming & Content Doug Montgomery. "This pair has chemistry that you can't manufacture and this will be a fun, new destination for morning listeners. Wood and Nicole will pop up on Taste of Country Nights, and Evan will be a regular visitor to the morning show. Likewise, our great local hosts like Clay Moden (WYRK/Buffalo), Ginny Brophey (WOKQ/Portsmouth, NH) and others will stop in to say hi. I'm so excited to build this new show with the entire team."
