iHEARTMEDIA Top 40 KBKS (106.1 KISS FM)/SEATTLE has named the winners of SEATTLE’s Funniest Person Contest -- AMBER “ALABAMA” COLE and EVAN “ENGLISH EVAN” OMELIA -- who have joined the “CARLA MARIE AND ANTHONY SHOW” in mornings. In addition, a listener named MIKAELA from BOTHELL, WA won the $10,000 refer-a-friend contest.
Winner ALABAMA previously did middays at sister Country WEBG (BIG 95.5)/CHICAGO. “Being a part of the legendary KISS brand has always been a dream of mine and living in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST has been on my bucket list as I feel a true connection to the people,” she said. “I’m thrilled to be chosen to join the ‘CARLA MARIE AND ANTHONY’ show and am truly lucky to be able to have fun with our listeners, advertisers and lively community each morning.”
ENGLISH EVAN most recently was a Sales Account Executive for iHEARTMEDIA/SEATTLE. "It is surreal to be on air as a part of the ‘CARLA MARIE AND ANTHONY’ SHOW,” he said. “I’ve been a loyal listener of the legendary 106.1 KISS FM for as long as I have lived here and I can’t wait to be a voice that helps wake up SEATTLE every morning.”
“This contest was all about attracting and finding the very best radio on-air personalities and providing them a platform to showcase their talent on-air,” iHEARTMEDIA/PACIFIC NORTHWEST SVP/Programming and KBKS PD TIM HERBSTER said. “After narrowing the field down from over 500 entries to our top seven, we knew it would be very difficult to pick just one winner and so we chose two! Both ALABAMA and ENGLISH EVAN have dynamic, relatable personalities that completely click with CARLA MARIE and ANTHONY. I’m thrilled to hear their instant chemistry on-air and look forward to the impact this show will have in our SEATTLE community."
