Veteran radio personality Barry McKay joins WGH-FM (97.3 The Eagle) in Norfolk for midday responsibilities, currently held by 30-year market veteran APD/Music Director Karen West. She'll make the jump from middays to Eagle Mornings as a one woman show. McKay's journey in radio started at WTBO in Cumberland, MD followed by stops in Houston, Baltimore, Seattle and Hampton Roads. He formally took over middays, effective April 22 at 10am.

McKay remarked, "It's an absolute thrill to reconnect with all the amazing listeners in Hampton Roads. I'm beyond excited to be back on the airwaves at this amazing heritage station. A huge shoutout to the incredible team at Max Media for providing me with this incredible opportunity and I can't wait to spend our workday together, so buckle up y'all, let the good times roll."

"After many years in the midday slot, I'm thrilled about this new chapter in my career. I'm excited for this fresh start, which brings limitless opportunities to unleash my creativity," added West.

Max Media Hampton Roads VP/Market Manager Keith Barton remarked, "Karen has been a mainstay for country radio in our market for more than 3 decades. It is natural for her to wake up with our listeners every weekday morning. Her move to mornings created a great opportunity for a Hampton roads radio veteran like Barry to move to the midday slot on Eagle. We are very excited for them both as well as our listeners."
