WSB-FM (B98.5) will wake up Atlanta with a new addition to the morning show, Drex Renner (pictured), beginning Monday, May 15. Tad & Drex Mornings will air weekdays from 5am-9am. Prior to working at B98.5, Renner was the lead on "Drex, Cassidy and Tingle" on crosstown WSTR-FM (Star 94). He has also hosted mornings at WNKS-FM (Kiss 95.1) Charlotte and worked at stations in Memphis and Detroit. Lemire has been with B98.5, co-hosting mornings since February of 2016 and will now be joined by Rener. Kara Leigh will continue to serve as the producer and co-host for the show.

Director of Branding and Programming Chris Eagan said, "I am thrilled to be able to have a talent like Drex join Tad in mornings. I've watched these two become fast friends over the last few months. They both have a great understanding of the effort, energy and dedication it requires to be part of a major market morning show, and they're just great people. I know Tad and Drex (and Kara) are up for the task."

Drex added, "This is the type of company and gig that you brag to your friends about. I look forward to a long career at Cox Media Group. Thanks to Chris Eagan and Donna Hall for believing in me."
