The Jacksonville radio scene is about to get even more exciting with the addition of Chad 'Chumley' Kerch to the legendary 'Big Show' on iHeartMedia's Country 99.1 WQIK. This move is a testament to the station's commitment to delivering fresh and engaging content to its loyal listeners.
A New Chapter for WQIK
With Chumley joining the already stellar lineup of John Scott, Megan Terry, and Scot 'Froggy' Langley, 'The Big Show' is set to become an even bigger force in the morning radio landscape. Chumley's expertise in Jacksonville's music and radio scene, coupled with his strong rapport with the existing team, promises a dynamic and entertaining morning show experience.
A Well-Deserved Promotion
Chumley's journey with iHeartMedia spans over two decades, and his promotion to 'The Big Show' is a well-deserved recognition of his talent and dedication. As Program Director and afternoon host at 107.3 Planet Radio WPLA-FM, and with his voice reaching audiences across the country on various iHeartMedia stations, Chumley has proven his ability to connect with listeners and deliver engaging content.
A No-Brainer Decision
Program Director Casey Carter's decision to bring Chumley on board was a strategic move. Chumley's expertise in Jacksonville, his passion for music and radio, and his overall positive demeanor make him an ideal addition to the team. Rick Everett, SVP/Programming, echoes this sentiment, highlighting Chumley's fresh ideas and energy that will undoubtedly enhance 'The Big Show' and create a stronger connection with listeners.

This move by WQIK is not just about adding a new voice to the morning show; it's about creating a more diverse and engaging radio experience for Jacksonville. By bringing together a team with different strengths and perspectives, the station is ensuring that it remains relevant and appealing to a wide range of listeners. Chumley's addition is a strategic step towards achieving this goal.
