Morning Show: Liz Bell & Chris Tyler (5:00am – 9:00am)
Hi, I’m Liz Bell, a single mom to 2 gorgeous girls! I love throwing theme parties,
read that as ‘Pinterest addict.’ I believe there is no better feeling than a sloppy
ponytail and yoga pants. I enjoy traveling, things that sparkle and my partner, Chris
Tyler. *** Chris Tyler here! I also have two kids, plus an awesome wife! I run
marathons, but in real life I love to spend time at our neighborhood pool. And I’m a
huge sports fan. It’s hard for me to choose a favorite type of music! I like many
different types! Except maybe Gangsta Rap. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Midday: Andrea Jaxson (9:00am – 2:00pm)
I’m Andrea Jaxson and when I’m not on the radio, there is a good chance you
will find me making plans to travel to a new, fun and exciting city or country. My
husband Mike, A.K.A “Marvelous Mike”, is completely supportive of my need to
capture the perfect “shot” while I roam the streets looking for unique architecture
and landscape. We share a love for music, art and travel which makes for a fun life
together! I absolutely love sharing time with my nieces and nephews and as soon as
football season rolls around, it’s all about food, family and dark chocolate!
Afternoon: Karl Southcott (2:00pm – 7:00pm)
Karl Southcott here! I’m a giant movie fan, and love everything from the
classic films to all the new exciting flicks. I enjoy the outdoors too, and am crazy
about being around the water. I love swimming, kayaking, surfing and diving. I’ve
always figured that I’m at least part fish. I also like to hang with my family. My
two small boys keep me very busy! Musically, I’m crazy about everything from
Sinatra to Bruno Mars. Sharing this music on the radio is such a kick!
Evening: Karen (7:00pm – 12:00am)
Hi! I’m Karen. (And I don’t want to speak to your manager!) I’ve been doing
this radio thing for almost 25 years now, and I love it!! When I’m not on the air, I enjoy
traveling with my boyfriend. We took a helicopter ride down into the Grand Canyon &
recently went to Spain! I love taking pictures of our travels, as well as the food we eat
along the way because we both love cooking & trying new cuisines! When I’m not
traveling you will find me out on our motorcycle, or just hanging out with our two
cats. If you want to catch up with me, you can find me on Instagram @karenontheair!
Late Night: John Laurenti (12:00am – 5:00am)
Hi, I’m John Laurenti! Thanks for taking a little bit of your time to find
out about me. I’ve been fortunate to have been doing this radio thing for a
while and it’s the best job I’ve ever had! Every day is different and fun! Plus, I
get to play music for you. In my spare time I try to go to as many concerts as I
can, 2,500 and counting, playing golf (badly), and I’ve done a little bit of acting
as well. I’ll see you on the radio!
