Townsquare Media and Compass Media Networks’ “Loudwire Nights” has named Todd Fooks as its new host.
Fooks had been hosting the weekend edition of Loudwire Nights since January 2022. He previously has hosted mornings at “Alt 94.9” KHTB Salt Lake City and 92.1 KFMA Tucson, and spent six years at “Q101” WKQX Chicago in both afternoons and evenings. Fooks has also served as an anchor/reporter for News/Talk 1160/102.7 KSL Salt Lake City.
Fooks takes over Loudwire Nights from original host Toni Gonzalez. Gonzalez had hosted the program since its launch in September 2015 after previously working in the Miami market with stints at “93 Rock” WHDR and “Hits 97.3” WFLC.
The hosting change at Loudwire Nights follows Townsquare and Compass’ cancellation of the Classic Hits “The Night Shift” hosted by James Rabe. The Night Shift will cease distribution in mid-February.
