A longtime fixture at the Country outlet, West ascends to the role after holding positions as Assistant Program Director and Music Director.

"I'm incredibly honored to step into this new role at The Eagle," West commented. "For over 30 years, this station has been my home, and I'm excited to build on its legacy of delivering great country music, supporting our community, and connecting with our loyal listeners in Hampton Roads."

In addition to her responsibilities at the station, West is actively involved in various charitable activities, notably her work with the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. Her dedication to community service is a testament to her influence both on and off the air.

Max Media of Hampton Roads Operation Manager Jay West praised her dedication: "The name Karen West is synonymous in Hampton Roads with Country music, and I'm extremely excited to elevate someone of her caliber into this role.
