"Under JOE KELLEY’s leadership, the KRMG Morning News has become the single most important morning show in oKLAHOMA, both in terms of content and listenership," POTTER said. "I hope to continue the growth JOE started and to attract new listeners to the show. I am humbled, honored and very excited for this opportunity. I anchored newscasts on a similar morning show in DALLAS-FORT WORTH for over 15 years and am constantly impressed by KRMG’s commitment to covering breaking news better than anyone. You could take this newsroom and this product and put it in any major market in the country and be competitive."
