Steve Waters is exiting Alpha Media Country 93.3 WFLS Fredericksburg VA to join Max Media’s “97.3 The Eagle” WGH-FM Newport News/Norfolk as morning host alongside APD/MD Karen West.
Waters has been with WFLS since 2011 alongside Jessica Cash until 2020 and then Tiffany Kay until her layoff last month. He previously spent thirteen years in Charleston SC hosting mornings at three Citadel owned stations: “Cat Country 107.5” WNKT for “Steve, Sheree & Mudflap” in the Morning, CHR “95SX” WSSX for “2 Girls and a Guy”, and Country “96.9 The Wolf” WIWF’s “The Wolf Wake Up Show”. He had began his career at 98.5 WACL Harrisonburg VA.
Karen West had moved to mornings at WGH-FM in April from middays. She has been with “97.3 The Eagle” since just after its flip to Country in 1990, added Music Director duties in 2020, and rose to Assistant Program Director in August 2022.
Waters said, ““My wife and I are thrilled to be moving to the beach and joining the team at 97.3 The Eagle! To live where we vacation, and to be a part of a heritage station with such a rich history, is simply incredible!”
Max Media of Hampton Roads Operations Manager Jay West stated, “Steve is a superb edition to pair with Eagle staple Karen West in mornings. His award-winning Country radio success and approach to entertaining audiences is a most welcome addition to this already legendary station WGH-FM”.
Keith Barton, Vice President and Market Manager for Max Media Hampton Roads, remarked, “We are thrilled to welcome Steve to the Max Media family as our new morning show co-host. We can’t wait for our listeners to start their day with Steve and Karen on The Eagle”.
