Curtis Media Group's Country WQDR-FM (94.7 QDR) in Raleigh, NC, has named Jenn Lopez co-host of its "Q Morning Crew" alongside longtime morning host Mike Wheless. She fills the opening created by Amanda Daughtry's departure at the end of June.

Lopez joins WQDR from Audacy's Hot AC WOMX (Mix 105.1) in Orlando, where she co-hosted the "Mix Morning Show." She rejoined WOMX in 2021 and returned to mornings in September 2023 after a stint in middays. Her Orlando radio career also includes three years co-hosting mornings at Country WOTW (103.1 The Wolf) and part-time work at WOMX and WQMP (101.9 AMP Radio).

"Jenn brings a level of experience and enthusiasm that we can't wait to tap into," said WQDR Program Director Mike Biddle. "She'll fit right in with our team and, most importantly, our listening community. She and Mike have undeniable on-air chemistry, and there are no limits to what they can achieve together."

Lopez has family in North Carolina, including a brother in Fuquay-Varina and her father in New Bern.

"I'm so excited and grateful to be joining the multi-award-winning team at WQDR and the Curtis Media family," Lopez said. "I feel truly blessed to work alongside such talented, knowledgeable people, and I can't wait to learn, grow and create unforgettable memories with my new radio family."

The "Q Morning Crew" has earned multiple Country Music Association honors, most recently in 2025. WQDR has won five CMA Large Market Station of the Year awards, including in 2024 and 2026.
