Morning Show: Tyler Naylor (5:00am – 9:00am)
Hi, I’m Tyler Naylor and I’m known for my energy, personality, and ability
to connect with listeners in a way that feels genuine and entertaining. With a passion
for music, pop culture, entertainment, and the everyday stories people are talking
about, I bring a conversational style and sharp sense of humor to the airwaves. My
goal is simple: to make you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend while keeping
you informed, entertained, and coming back for more. When not on the air or
listening to music, I enjoy watching shows such as Lioness, Yellowjackets, Below
Deck, The Wall, and Beat Shazam.
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!
