iHeartMedia's New Country WKKT (96.9 The KAT) in Charlotte is set to launch its new morning show, "Graham B & Sarah Lee," on Thursday, April 10. Hosted by North Carolina native Graham Bunn and longtime 96.9 The KAT favorite Sarah Lee, the program will air weekdays from 6-10am. Previously, Bunn hosted mornings on KKGO (Go Country 105) in KKGO-FM Los Angeles from 2014 to 2018 before hosting the Country music competition "Real Country" on USA Network.

"We are thrilled to welcome Graham Bunn to the 96.9 The KAT family as our new Morning Show host," said Dave Carwile, Market President of iHeartMedia Charlotte. "Graham's vibrant personality, deep connection with the biggest country stars in America, and passion for community make him the perfect addition to our team. We are confident his unique blend of charisma and experience will bring a fresh and exciting energy to our listeners every morning."

Bunn, a longtime country music fan and radio personality, brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role. "I'm incredibly honored to be joining 96.9 The KAT, Sarah Lee, and iHeartMedia," said Graham Bunn. "It has long been a dream of mine to combine my love for Country radio with the place that cultivated my love for country music. Thomas Wolfe once said, 'You can't go home again.' Respectfully I disagree. Coming back isn't just a homecoming-it's an opportunity to give back to the place that started it all."

Lee, who has been a staple on 96.9 The KAT and a voice in the Charlotte community, expressed her excitement about her new co-host. "I'm honored to be welcoming home Carolina native Graham B," said Sarah Lee. "I am excited about everything that we are going to do together for our Carolina community."
