95.5 THE WOLF ASSEMBLES NEW TEAM FOR
THE WAKE UP WITH THE WOLF SHOW
Nashville, Tenn., July 28, 2010—Over the last few months, Cumulus Radio’s 95.5 The Wolf (WSM-FM) in Nashville has been diligently working behind the scenes to assemble an exciting new team for its morning show, The Wake Up with the Wolf Show. Beloved market show host and proven share performer, Rick Marino, who has been a fixture on the Nashville airwaves since 1994, was joined in May by another well-known market face, TV meteorologist and newsman Tim Ross.
New to the market are Beth Brightwell, a 10-year radio and morning show veteran of North Central Florida and multi-talented Ashley Mann, who offers a unique perspective having stinted at KZLA (Los Angeles) and produced syndicated seasonal radio shows, but also having worked as a successful label songwriter and high-level demo/commercial jingle singer.
Listeners are invited to tune in to the team’s first official broadcast, on Thursday, July 29 from 5:30 to 10 a.m. on 95.5 The Wolf. For more information, log onto www.955thewolf.com.
Cumulus Senior VP of Programming, Jan Jeffries comments, "A nation-wide search was conducted over several months for the perfect complement to round out the cast of WSM-FM’s The Wake Up With The Wolf Show. Rick, Beth, Tim and Ashley remind me of a modern-day version of the legendary TV series "Cheers." Each personality on the show is distinctly different making for an unpredictable and consistently entertaining morning show. We are extremely enthusiastic to kick off mornings each day with this highly talented group.”
“The team offers something for everyone to like,” stated Russ Penuell, Program Director of 95.5 The Wolf (WSM-FM). “It’s a distinctive team that offers a variety of fresh perspective to get your morning going…like that first freshed-brewed cup of coffee.”
