CUMULUS MEDIA MEMPHIS has added ANDREW “LATTY” LATIMER to mornings on Country WGKX (KIX 106). His first day on air will be MONDAY, MAY 31st. The morning drive slot had been open since the departure of the husband/wife morning team composed of DUANE SHANNON and ABBY SUMMERS in FEBRUARY (NET NEWS 2/17).  

The MEMPHIS native previously was morning show host for Classic Hits WHBQ (Q107.5)/MEMPHIS, and was on-air for Rock WIVG (I96)/MEMPHIS and Top 40 KWNW (101.9 KISS FM)/MEMPHIS.   

“LATTY is a MEMPHIS guy and is excited about being on a heritage brand like KIX 106, which will celebrate 40 years on-air in 2023," said CUMULUS MEDIA MEMPHIS VP/Market Mgr. MORGAN BOHANNON. "He’s high energy, smart, creative, and lives an active lifestyle with a great work ethic. He’s just the perfect fit."

WGKX PD CHAD HERITAGE added, “We are excited to have LATTY join the KIX 106 morning show. He knows the market and is going to bring a lot of energy and creativity to CUMULUS/MEMPHIS, and will help make the KIX 106 brand even bigger and better.”

“I’m honored and humbled to be part of a legendary station like KIX 106," said LATIMER. "I grew up listening to the station and now it’s a dream come true to work for them and do morning radio in the city I grew up and love, Let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!”
