Cumulus to Debut ''America's Morning Show'' w/Garner


Cumulus announces that "America's Morning Show" hosted by Blair Garner will debut on Country WNSH-FM (NASH FM 94.7)/New York beginning later this month, live from 6-10am weekdays. Garner will be joined by co-hosts Terri Clark, Sunny Sweeney, Chuck Wicks and Lee Ann Womack. The team from "America's Morning Show" joins existing air personalities Kelly Ford and Jesse Addy on NASH FM 94.7.

The New York market radio program will feature a mix of Country hits, in-studio interviews with Country music stars and news about the Country lifestyle -- with New York City area traffic, weather and information updated throughout the show. "America's Morning Show" will originate live from Nashville before a studio audience, with frequent broadcasts from NASH FM 94.7 studios in New York.

"The collection of talent assembled for America's Morning Show is without equal. This show will bring the superstars of country to listeners in an authentic entertaining way not done before," said Cumulus Executive VP/co-COO John Dickey.

"I am thrilled to begin waking up the New York area's Country listeners on NASH FM 94.7 with an uplifting Country start to the day," Garner said. "New Yorkers are embracing NASH FM in an amazing way and I look forward to bringing the Country music lifestyle to the Big Apple straight from Nashville."

Garner previously worked in the New York as afternoon host on WPLJ. Garner is best-known for hosting "After Midnite with Blair Garner" for 20 years as well as the "Blair Garner Show" since 2006. Garner won "Air Personality of the Year" from the Academy of Country Music in the national category in 2004, 2006 and 2010 and has been nominated for a Marconi Award. Eric Weiss of The Weiss Agency represented Garner for his new role.

As co-hosts, Country artists Clark, Sweeney, Wicks and Womack join "America's Morning Show" on NASH FM 94.7 directly from Country music's world stage:

Clark is an eight-time fan-voted Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year and a multiple Country Music Awards and Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year nominee. Hailed as "the female Dwight Yoakam" when she hit Country radio, the longstanding Grand Ole Opry member is known for"Better Things To Do," "I Just Wanna Be Mad," "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" and "Girls Lie, Too."

Sweeney has released two critically acclaimed albums Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame and Concrete. Her Top 10 hit "From a Table Away" was the highest charting Billboard debut single from a female Country artist in four years.

Wicks launched with a debut album that featured three Top 40 singles including the Top 5 hit "Stealing Cinderella." He recently released the EP Rough featuring his newest single "Salt Life."

Womack's popularity started with the multi-format hit "I Hope You Dance" and she quickly became the duet partner of choice for George Strait, Don Henley, Alan Jackson and Buddy Miller. The progressive hard country songstress has won Country Music Awards Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year for There's More Where That Came From, Single of the Year twice (for "Dance" and "I May Hate Myself In The Morning"*) and Vocal Event twice. Womack also won a Grammy with Willie Nelson.

Heather McBee is the Operations Director of "America's Morning Show" with responsibility for marketing, promotions, staffing and booking. McBee previously spent 20 years at Sony Music Entertainment in Nashville where she most recently served as the Vice President of Marketing and Web Initiatives.
