Beasley Media Group knows a good thing when they have it, so they’ve signed the guys to a 4-year extension at Detroit Rock station 101.1 WRIF. Co-hosts Dave Hunter and Chuck “The Freak” Urquhart, along with co-host Lisa Way, have the top morning show in the Motor City and are looking to keep it that way. Both Hunter and Urquhart bring more than two decades of radio experience to the game, and as the show was reaching new heights in 2017, the four-year extension was offered by the station’s new owners even though there were two years left on the current agreements.
“Of course, we extended their contracts!” said Beasley Detroit Market Manager Mac Edwards. “Dave and Chuck have crushed the competition and dominated Detroit’s morning radio for men and women, ranking #1 in every key demo, including 18 to 34, 18 to 49 and 25 to 54. We value their amazing talent and are fortunate to work with them.”
“It’s a huge compliment to know Beasley is so enthusiastic about continuing our show,” said Dave Hunter. “We are not only radio morning co-hosts. We are friends, with families who are enjoying being part of this community. Beasley has not asked us to change our show. They want us to thrive, so they’ve been beyond supportive.”
