MID-WEST FAMILY BROADCASTING Country WUSW (US 92.7)/SPRINGFIELD, IL PD/morning co-host KELLIE MICHAELS has decided to step down from both duties, effective MONDAY, AUGUST 21st. MICHAELS has been hosting "BRIAN & KELLIE" with husband BRIAN PIERCE for 25 years, beginning at sister AC WNNS in NOVEMBER 1992; after 15 years there, the pair segued to SCRIPPS Country KFDI/WICHITA from 2007 until 2015 before returning to SPRINGFIELD to take mornings at US 92.7.
“After 25 years of getting up before the sun, I wanted to step back and spend more time on other interests,” said MICHAELS. “It certainly is bittersweet. I have had a great time with BRIAN doing mornings. I will certainly miss the fun BRIAN and I have had but certainly won’t miss the early morning hours.” PIERCE will continue as morning co-host with TROY ARMSTRONG moving into the co-host slot.
