WPCV-FM (97 Country) in Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL adds Chris Rhoden to Julie and DJ in the Morning as co-host and producer. Rhoden previously worked in Lakeland at Talk WLKF from 2013 until 2021 in a similar role. He joins Julie K and DJ The Trucker, weekday mornings and replaces Jon Dennis, who left last August for an opportunity in Seattle.

"Having grown up in Fort Meade, Chris is a Central Florida native who knows this market like the back of his hand" said Hall Communications Vice President of Programming Bob Walker. "Every time I talk to Chris, I learn something new I did not know about the metro. We are so glad he returned home and is joining us at 97 Country."

"When I was a kid, the radio was on in our house every morning and it was always tuned to 97 Country," said Rhoden. "I'm looking forward to joining Julie and DJ In The Morning to provide those same fun memories for other kids and families out there."
