Radio's Comeback Story: Katie Sommers Returns to WFLZ, But Why?
In a surprising twist, Katie Sommers, who left iHeartMedia's CHR 93.3 WFLZ last October, is back with a bang! But here's where it gets intriguing: she's not just returning to the station; she's joining the popular "The Joe Show" morning show and reclaiming her former midday slot.
Sommers, a radio veteran with an impressive 17-year stint in middays at WFLZ, has quite the radio journey. Her career took her across the country, with stops at WHQC Charlotte and KZHT Salt Lake City, and she even served as the Promotions Coordinator for WFLZ. It all started in Madison, WI, where she began her radio adventure.
Now, she joins the dynamic trio of Joe Carballo, Ashley Nics, and Jed Shilling, who have been holding down the morning fort at WFLZ since 2020. But here's the kicker: "The Joe Show" isn't just a local phenomenon; it's also aired in the afternoons on "Channel 95.5" WKQI in Detroit!
So, why the comeback? What led Sommers to return to WFLZ? And this is the part most people miss: is there a hidden story behind this radio reunion?
Feel free to share your thoughts and theories in the comments! Is this a strategic move, a personal choice, or something else entirely? Let's discuss and uncover the truth behind this radio comeback story!
