iHeartMedia Atlanta has announced two leadership additions at Country WUBL (94.9 The Bull), appointing Ashley Layfield as Program Director and Corey Calhoun as afternoon host.

"These are two of the most exciting additions we've made to the Bull in recent years," said Jill Strada, Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia. "Corey's experience across multiple markets, combined with his passion for Country music and audience engagement, makes him a perfect fit for afternoons on 94.9 The Bull, while Ashley is one of the most respected programming leaders in our industry."

Layfield joins the Atlanta cluster from iHeartMedia Tampa, where she currently serves as Director of Programming and Brand Strategy for US103.5. She brings nearly 20 years of radio experience, including a successful tenure at K92.3 Orlando, which earned the Academy of Country Music's Large Market Station of the Year honor during her time there. Layfield has also been active with industry organizations, including the Alliance for Women in Media.

"Atlanta is one of the most dynamic and influential country radio markets in the nation, and I'm honored to join the incredible team at 94.9 The Bull," Layfield said. "The station has a strong legacy with deep community roots, and I'm excited to build on that foundation."

Calhoun arrives from iHeartMedia Washington, DC, where he serves as co-host of mornings on WMZQ. His radio career includes stops in Atlanta, Louisville, Lexington, Brunswick and Washington, along with roles as Assistant Program Director and afternoon host at WAMZ Louisville and Music Director and evening host at WMZQ.

A graduate of Kennesaw State University, Calhoun began his broadcasting career as an intern in Atlanta radio.

"I started my radio career in Atlanta, so the opportunity to return with 94.9 The Bull truly feels like a full-circle moment," Calhoun said. "Nothing compares to coming home, and it makes it even more special that I'm joining this incredible team in what is a dream job for me."
