Radio One heritage News/Talk WBT-AM & FM/Charlotte welcomes veteran news anchor, documentarian, television host and former Congressional candidate Beth Troutman to morning drive as co-host of "Good Morning BT with Bo Thompson & Beth Troutman," effective April 1. Having first been called upon by Thompson in 2016 as a correspondent from the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Troutman has been a regular guest with Thompson on WBT.

"I was immediately impressed by Beth from our first meeting," said Radio One Charlotte Regional Vice President and Market Manager Marsha Landess. "Her contribution as a guest with Bo, and her infectious positivity, has only reinforced that impression. Together, they're able to speak to the moms and dads and working professionals of Charlotte as generational peers, and we are incredibly excited to have Bo and Beth begin WBT's second century as our morning team."

"This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside Bo Thompson," added Troutman. "He is one of the best broadcasters in the business, and I know we're going to create something really unique, fun, and informative together for the WBT audience!" "The opportunity to bring in a talent like Beth is one we couldn't pass up," Thompson added. "I respect her so much as a broadcaster and can't wait to have her join me for this new chapter of the show."
