WSIX-FM (The Big 98) Nashville taps veteran air personality Brooke Taylor to join the iHeartMedia Country outlet as the midday host, weekdays from 10am-3pm, effective immediately. Taylor joins the Nashville team from iHM Chicago, where she most recently served as Assistant Program Director and host for the former "Big 95.5." Prior to joining "Big 95.5" in 2016, Taylor served as midday host and APD for WBTU Fort Wayne, IN. She'll continue to host nights for co-owned KWBL-FM (106.7 The Bull) Denver and air on several iHeartCountry stations across the country.

"When I set out to work in Country music, one of the first things I prayed for was to be in Nashville one day, and the fact that this is becoming a reality is honestly a dream come true," said Taylor. "I can't wait to join an already incredible team at The BIG 98 and to represent the iHeartCountry brand."

"Brooke is the perfect addition to the WSIX franchise," added iHeartCountry Executive Vice President/Country Programming Strategy Rod Phillips. "She has always been very active on the iHeartCountry team as well, which made this the perfect next step and location for her and for our Country brands."
