Country radio listeners know Ford from her time co-hosting the Nashville-based syndicated Country morning show, Ty, Kelly & Chuck, for Westwood One. In addition, Ford stands as the only solo female morning show host in the history of Country music radio in New York City, as host of Kelly Ford in the Morning on WNSH-FM (Country 94.7), a station she helped launch in 2013. She also hosted a nationally syndicated weekend 90's Country Show for Audacy.
