KQBW Shuffles 'Brew' Lineup

KQBW (96.1 FM) is shuffling its on-air lineup and adding a new personality.

"The Morning Brew" crew of "Mookie" and Michelle Matthews (5:30-10 a.m.) remains the same. But behind-the-scenes demands have moved "Steve-O" to the midday shift (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) and "Crash Davis" to nights (7 p.m.-midnight).

Matthews, who also serves as the station's program director, said the changes were necessary to free up more time for those jocks to handle their off-air responsibilities.

"I was blessed with a very talented staff who also do a good chunk of work for Clear Channel," Matthews said. "Steve-O is also our production director and Crash Davis is our creative services director. So the changes allow them to be able to meet with clients and better handle their jobs when they're not on the air. Plus, Crash is such a freak show that at night he can have that much more fun."

Davis takes the place of Lucy Chapman, who previously handled the night shift. She will remain part of "The Brew Crew" by taking on air shifts on weekends and working station events, Matthews said.

Taking over the afternoon drive (3-7 p.m.) is Ethan Stone, who previously was heard on KCTY (106.9 FM) "The Bob," (which has since switched formats). Stone was one of several NRG Media employees who were laid off late last year.
