WXKS (Kiss 108) Boston taps long-time on-air host and Assistant Program Director and Music Director Mikey V to join forces with his brother Frankie V and newcomer, Gianna Gravalese for a multiplatform show, "Mikey V & Frankie V, The VBros." The new program will air weekdays from 2-7pm. In addition, the show can be streamed as a podcast with new episodes airing every weekday.

Mikey and Frankie were born and raised in the MetroWest city of Framingham, MA. Both have been on-air on Kiss 108 during their careers. Frankie, the older brother, has since worked on the west coast with shows on Channel 93.3 in San Diego, KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, Kiss 107.9 in Sacramento and other iHeartMedia outlets.

Frankie will continue to co-host his morning show in San Diego. He's made career stops in Ithaca, Indianapolis, and Detroit before coming home. Frankie has been on-air on Kiss 108 since 2013, hosting nights, now PM Drive and is also the Assistant Program Director and Music Director of Kiss 108.

Newcomer Gianna Gravalese adds the female perspective and produces the program. She's another local talent born and raised in Revere, MA. In addition to her role with The VBros, Gianna is an on-camera reporter for "Dirty Water TV," a Boston-based nightlife cable program on NESN.

"This team has found the perfect combination of entertaining conversation and great music that resonates with the Kiss 108 listeners," said iHeartMedia Boston Senior Vice President of Programming Dylan Sprague. "We're excited to hear what lies ahead for this show."

Mikey V added, "This is the type of show that I've wanted to host since I first started working in radio. It's fun, it's exciting, and it's unpredictable. It's like a morning show in the afternoon. Best of all, I get to do it with my big bro and remind him daily that he is the older brother."

"If Mikey tells you this was his idea, don't believe him," added Frankie V. "This was my idea from the start. He's been stealing my game since he was born. I love my brother, but even though I am the older one, I look younger and if you call us twins, he will get mad. So please do it."
