iHeartMedia's 100.7 WZLX (Boston's Classic Rock) adds market vet and longtime afternoon host Chuck Nowlin to anchor a new morning show. Starting Monday, Nowlin will be joined by Danielle Murr and WZLX Program Director Chris Tyler for "The Chuck Nowlin Morning Show," weekdays from 6-10am. In addition, the show can be streamed as a podcast, with new episodes airing every weekday.

Nowlin is the longest tenured air talent on WZLX, hosting afternoon drive for over 3 decades. A Massachusetts native, Nowlin's deep market knowledge and sharp sense of humor have made him a fan favorite with WZLX listeners.

"After years of working the fryolator during the afternoon rush, I'm psyched to take the paper trainee hat off to manage the morning shift and start the day with Boston," said Nowlin.

Murr has been a fixture of the Boston radio landscape for over a decade. Prior to joining WZLX, Murr worked as morning co-host on WAAF and WEEI.

"My passport needs a break, so I've decided to get back to my rock and roll roots," said Murr. "I'm thrilled to return to the morning airwaves in Boston, and bring a dose of sanity to start the day-while undoubtedly driving Chuck and Tyler crazy. I'm excited to add my brand of wit and wisdom to the immensely-talented team at WZLX and iHeart Boston."

Program Director Chris Tyler also joins the morning team while continuing in his current role. Tyler's other notable rock radio programing highlights include Program Director duties at WMMS and WHJY.

"I've been lucky enough to manage some amazing talent over the years, and Chuck is at the top of that list," said Tyler. "He is beloved by the loyal WZLX audience. So, it only makes sense that he hosts the new morning show. What doesn't make sense is me getting up at an ungodly hour every day to be a co-host. He promised me a box of expensive cigars, which I still haven't received. Oh well, let's go Boston."
