Wash'd Up: Former iHeartMedia WAMZ/Louisville morning host Corey Calhoun has joined the company's WMZQ/Washington as MD/evening personality, responsibilities formerly handled by JT Bosch, who left for the company's WKKT/Charlotte last year (CAT 11/22). "Corey completes the WMZQ team," RVP/Programming Jeff Kapugi says. "He brings a fresh new energy to the station and some great experience spanning multiple markets and formats." Calhoun was replaced after two years in 'AMZ mornings earlier this month by Premiere's The Bobby Bones Show (CAT 4/25). He served as APD/afternoon host prior to that, and has other stops at iHM/Waycross, GA and WLTO/Lexington, KY. Reach him here.

Dopplenamer: Cumulus Top 40 WLTO/Lexington PD/afternoon personality Corey Calhoun has joined iHeartMedia WAMZ/Louisville as APD and for afternoons, where he fills the spot left vacant with Coyote Calhoun's retirement (CAT 7/15). The Calhouns are not related. "His energy and enthusiasm are contagious," PD Michael Jordan tells Country Aircheck. "He's a great addition to the team and will be a big help to me as the APD."

To be a part of a station with such an impressive history and follow in the footsteps of a legend like Coyote is what you work for your entire career." Calhoun's prior stops include programming and on-air gigs with Hot AC WQGA & Country WYNR/Brunswick, GA and Top 40 WFIZ/Ithaca, NY. He's on the job and can be reached here.
