Capitol Broadcasting Company’s MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM announced on Wednesday, January 21, 2009, that WRAL-TV’s morning anchor, Lynda Loveland, will now co-host the Triangle’s popular morning show with veteran, Bill Jordan, starting Monday, January 26th.
MIX 101.5 posted the big announcement on their website that Lynda Loveland will join Bill Jordan on the MIX morning show. |
“Lynda brings a treasure trove of qualities to the morning show; she has a wonderful sense of humor and her core values are aligned with those of our target listener. The market knows her well from her success on WRAL-TV,” commented Ardie Gregory, Vice President and General Manager for MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM. “We are delighted to have her join the radio side of the CBC family recognizing that TV’s loss is certainly our gain.”
“I am absolutely thrilled about moving over to MIX 101.5. It’s an opportunity to try something a little different and have a great time doing it,” said Loveland. “I’m also excited to be staying in the Capitol Broadcasting Company family. I can’t wait to join the team of Bill Jordan, Vanna Fox and Wayne Michaels.”
