 Dave and Chuck |
Beasley Media Group inks a four-year extension with Rock WRIF-FM Detroit morning hosts Dave Hunter and Chuck "The Freak" Urquhart (Dave and Chuck) along with co-host Lisa Way. Both bring more than two decades of radio experience to the morning microphones. Hunter started his radio career as a news writer and reporter and quickly joined Urquhart, who began as a board operator, to form Dave & Chuck the Freak. The duo expanded to a trio when they added co-host Lisa Way, and joined WRIF in 2013.
"Of course, we extended their contracts," commented Beasley Detroit Market Manager Mac Edwards. "Dave and Chuck have crushed the competition and dominated Detroit's morning radio for men and women, ranking #1 in every key demo including 18 to 34, 18 to 49 and 25 to 54. We value their amazing talent and are fortunate to work with them."
"It's a huge compliment to know Beasley is so enthusiastic about continuing our show," added Hunter. "We are not only radio morning co-hosts. We are friends, with families who are enjoying being part of this community. Beasley has not asked us to change our show. They want us to thrive, so they've been beyond supportive."
