Following the retirement of Jim Murphy in October after 32 years in the timeslot and last week’s abrupt resignations of co-hosts Katie Schurk and Nick Vitrano, Midwest Communications CHR 101.1 WIXX Green Bay WI has tabbed Chris Carson as morning host.
Carson was introduced today on WIXX as host of “Carson In The Morning” from 5-9am. It marks a return to the company for him as he previously served as APD/Imaging Director at “Great Country 101.9” WDEZ Wausau WI from 2001 to 2010. He also worked at Cumulus Media Country 99.5 WPKR Appleton WI from 2012 to 2017. He has been working in real estate since then.
Carson told WFRV-TV, “I’m looking forward to just being a successful part of everybody’s morning. I want to be able to just slide in and as folks are getting their morning going, having their coffee, getting their kids off to school and ready to go to work, I’m hoping that I can just be a part of their day and we can help send them off.”
WIXX is still searching for a co-host(s) to join Carson on the new show
