"OBIE lives the format, is passionate about Country music, and has a tremendous track record of success in ORLANDO radio," said WWKA Dir./Branding and Programming DREW BLAND. "I couldn't be more excited to add an all-star like him to the K923 line-up alongside ASHLEY."

As DIAZ moves to Country, current morning co-host AJ MAGUIRE will segue to afternoon drive for WWKA.That chair has been vacant since JR JAUS left to co-host mornings at COX Country sister KCYY (Y100)/SAN ANTONIO (NET NEWS 3/15). "For the past five years, AJ has done a fantastic job starting the day for millions of CENTRAL FLORIDA Country fans," said BLAND. "Now, he will help them end their days with his entertaining and interactive style of show that has earned him several CMA and ACM Award nominations. We are thrilled to now have such an established personality in this important daypart."
