CHR WWWQ-FM (Q99.7) Atlanta will debut a new afternoon drive program hosted by longtime local personality Kristin Klingshirn. The Kristin Show will air weekdays from 2-7pm, beginning Monday, January 26. She announced the move on-air and through Q99.7's social platforms.

Klingshirn previously spent 14 years as co-host of The Bert Show on WWWQ-FM, which grew to more than 20 markets and concluded in October 2025 following the retirement of Bert Weiss. In 2025, Klingshirn earned a Gracie Award recognizing her work and advocacy on issues impacting women and mothers.

Her radio career began in promotions and on-air roles in Lexington, KY; Cincinnati, OH; and Raleigh, NC, before she arrived in Atlanta.

Justin Schaflander, Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus Atlanta, said Klingshirn's return signals a new chapter for the station, citing her long-standing connection with Atlanta listeners and commitment to community service as key to Q99.7's evolution.

Klingshirn said she was eager to continue her career in Atlanta radio and teased the upcoming announcement of a co-host. She added that the show will blend humor with community impact, including continued support for Bert's Big Adventure. "I can't wait to be back on the air this coming Monday," she said.
