SummitMedia is adding Premiere Networks’ “Bootleg Kev Show” to nights on Rhythmic CHR “Hot 98.1” WHZT Seneca/Greenville SC and “Hot 104.5” WKHT Knoxville TN. The show will run from 7pm-12am weekdays with “The Bootleg Kev Weekend Show” on Sundays from 10am to 12pm.
Featuring Bootleg Kev, comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. and producer DJ Sam I Am, the show launched in syndication in March 2021 and moved to Premiere Networks last January. Kev co-hosted nights at KRRL with DJ Hed from 2016 until December 2020. He also previously hosted at KKFR Phoenix and WLLD Tampa and has also worked at KVEG Las Vegas and KWYL Boise.
Bootleg Kev commented, “I couldn’t be more excited to partner with two legendary radio stations in both Greenville and Knoxville. I’d like to give a big shout out to Mo, Randy, and the whole Summit team for embracing our show and giving us a chance to do great radio for them!”
SummitMedia EVP/Programming Randy Chase said, “Kev is fresh and different! The show delivers all the expectations of the traditional radio consumer, plus artist access, a unique lifestyle perspective, podcasting, socials, and more. Bootleg Kev is the future of the content experience that we must deliver to grow our medium.”
Bootleg Kev replaces Ant Dizzle at WHZT. Ant remains with the cluster in his role as Regional Production Director. Nights at WKHT had been vacant since Tino Cochino Radio moved to mornings in July.
