Mornings in Atlanta have a new wakeup call when Cox Media Group’s B98.5 introduces the “Jeff and Melissa” show starring Jeff Elliott and Melissa Carter, 8/14.
Elliott has been doing morning radio for years. A native from Los Angeles, he was most recently the morning host at CBS’ WIRK in West Palm Beach and also spent seven years hosting the morning show at Clear Channel’s Mix 102.9 KDMX-FM in Dallas.
Carter has been an Atlanta radio staple. She most recently was anchoring afternoon news on Cumulus’ All News 106.7 but is best known for her 10-year stint on Q100’s “The Bert Show” from 2001 to 2011.
“Jeff and Melissa will bring a fresh approach to mornings on B98,” said CMG Atlanta Radio VP/GM Ben Reed. “We are very lucky to introduce them as Atlanta’s next great morning show!”
“Jeff and Melissa will bring a fun, entertaining and relatable morning show to B98.5,” said PD Chris Eagan. “They are two of the most talented personalities I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Their work ethic is tireless; they really get it.”
