Cumulus Media CHR “Hot 102.5” WLTO Nicholasville/Lexington KY has seen a pair of changes to its on-air lineup.
Joining the station for mornings is YEA Networks’ Tino Cochino Radio. Cochino will air weekdays from 6-10am with TCR Plus on Saturdays. In a release, Cochino stated, “Cumulus has been very consistent in supporting TCR and we appreciate their belief in personality driven radio. It’s more important now than ever to make a connection outside of the music and we’re excited to have the opportunity to do so every morning.”
WLTO had been jockless in mornings since dropping The Bert Show last year.
Program Director/afternoon host Colin Matthews departed the station last month after two years to return home to Ohio. Matthews joined WLTO in February 2022 after previously hosting mornings at Federated Media Hot AC 97.3 WMEE Fort Wayne IN and Cumulus Country “102.5 Nash-FM” WMDH Muncie IN. He also worked as morning show producer and Promotions Director for Cumulus AC “Warm 98.5” WRRM Cincinnati. He shared on Facebook, “I wish I could say the decision to leave radio was hard… but it wasn’t. My family comes first. If you have ever listened to one of my shows, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to accompany you on your drive to and from work.”
Afternoons are currently being tracked by “95SX” WSSX Charleston SC PD/afternoon host ‘Johnny O’ O’Leary.
