Rider wasn't the only problem with that morning show. Maybe they'll have enough sense this time to make a complete change. It may be interesting to see if Jesse & Shotgun would be interested in making a comeback.

I wonder how the morning numbers were and if they were a big reason why KYGO dropped so much in the 12+.
They need to do something as quick as they can.
The Wolf will only have limited chances of trying to capture KYGO's audience, and this could be one.
I'm not into country, so I'm not sure how musically different the stations are and if that needs to be tweaked on one or both too.

Where are Jesse & Shotgun now? Are they working in radio?

I believe they're still doing mornings at Y100 in San Antonio.

Former KYGO/DENVER morning man RIDER has been tapped by two more stations for voice and imaging services including WFKL (FICKLE 93.3)/ROCHESTER, NY. PD NIK RIVERS said, "After listening to a bunch of folks, RIDER really stood out. He took the time to work with us, and carve out the exact, new, sound we wanted."
Also, added is KUSB (US COUNTRY 103.3)/BISMARCK. "I explain my needs, and BAM, I get it back the way I envisioned it but in audio! RIDER is super talented," said Brand Manager LARRY LEBLANC.
The current ACM Major-Market Personality of the Year and promo voice of the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS continues searching for his next radio home in either, Country, Rock or Hot AC. His experience includes morning stops in DENVER, KANSAS CITY, PHILADELPHIA, WEST PALM BEACH and JACKSONVILLE.
