Posted: 11 Oct 2021 11:45 AM PDT https://radioinsight.com/headlines/214002/tim-hill-exits-as-wnkt-program-director-morning-co-host/


Tim Hill has departed as Program Director and morning co-host at Cumulus
Media Sports 107.5 The Game WNKT Eastover/Columbia SC.

In a video, Hill noted that he had requested and was denied a religious exemption toward Cumulus COVID vaccination mandate. Hill also told The
State newspaper, “I felt like I had to stand up for it. I have three boys
and tell them to stand up for what they believe in. It is my job to teach
them that. I felt like it was a test in some way. That is what I stuck
with. So, that is why it wasn’t a difficult decision from my perspective.”

Hill joined WNKT in 2016 as midday host and quickly moved to mornings with
Bill Gunter. He rose to Program Director in October 2017. He spent 13 years
as sports anchor for WOLO-TV in the market and had also hosted a show on iHeartMedia’s “1400 The Team” WCOS from 2006-2008 with now SportsCenter anchor Matt Barrie.

Gunter and producer Jenn Jensen remain in place in mornings.

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 07:45 AM PDT https://radioinsight.com/headlines/213998/klve-launches-new-morning-show-hosted-by-ysaac-alvarez/


Univision Spanish AC 107.5 K-Love KLVE Los Angeles has launched “Levántate Con Ysaac Alvarez” in mornings today.

Alvarez has hosted afternoons at KLVE since 2012. He began his career in
his native Peru before hosting La Regadera morning show on Entravisions
Super Estrella network based at KLYY Los Angeles from 2000 to 2010. He then spent two years in afternoons at iHeartMedias Mega 95.5 WNUA Chicago before joining KLVE. He will be joined by actress and television host Fernanda
Kelly. Kelly hosted Univisions LAnzate from 2011 to 2017.

Alvarez succeeds Omar Velasco and Argelia Atilano, who ended their morning
show of eighteen years to take a mental health break spending more time
with their daughters.

Univision Los Angeles today announced the launch of a new morning radio
show, “Levántate Con Ysaac Alvarez” (Wake Up With Ysaac Alvarez) on K-LOVE 107.5 FM. Starting October 11th, Alvarez will offer Latino listeners in Los Angeles heartwarming human interest stories, news of the day, comedy and interactive audience participation along with the best Latin music hits. “Levántate Con Ysaac Alvarez” will air Monday through Friday on K-LOVE 107.5 FM from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.

As host of this new show, Alvarez will welcome, entertain, and energize audiences with his one-of-a-kind personality that will invite listeners to participate in discussions one moment and laugh out loud the next. Alvarez
will be joined by Fernanda Kelly, Emmy Award-winning host and actress, who
will complement the show and entertain radio listeners with her vibrant personality.

“K-LOVE 107.5 FM is one of Univision’s most important radio stations, so we have to always find the best talent in the industry. We were fortunate to
have those individuals already part of the family. I could not be prouder
of Ysaac and the entire K-LOVE content team as they look to continue the
legacy of Spanish-language radio dominance in Los Angeles,” said Luis Patiño, president and general manager, Univision Los Angeles. “Ysaac is beloved by our audience and, together with Fernanda, who returns home to Univision, we are thrilled to bring a unique mix of humor and heart to our morning programming slate.”

Alvarez is no stranger to listeners in Los Angeles. He joined Univision Los Angeles in 2012 and recently hosted the afternoon show on K-LOVE 107.5 Los Angeles. Alvarez’s show made K-LOVE FM the #1 program in PM Drive among
Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 in Los Angeles, regardless of language. Kelly previously served as co-host of Univision’s network entertainment show
geared towards bicultural and bilingual young people “LAnzate,” which aired from 2015 to 2017.

connect with listeners, support local musicians and build relationships

been fortunate enough to work at The Bone and experience so much. Words
