Coyote Calhoun

Country WAMZ 97.5 FM has  announced that longtime program director and afternoon personality, Coyote Calhoun, will end his day-to-day radio career at the end of 2014.

Calhoun has been with 97.5 WAMZ for nearly 35 years.

Beginning in 2015, he will serve as a community ambassador for the station, appearing at special events, the Kentucky State Fair, and the St. Jude’s Radiothon, a cause near and dear to his heart for decades.

"I have loved every minute at 97.5 WAMZ, especially spending time with the thousands of listeners I’ve met over the years," Calhoun said. "My health is great, and now is the time to go
out, travel, and have some fun. I’d like to thank the Country fans of Kentuckiana for all their friendship and support."

"Coyote Calhoun is one of a kind, a true original," Kelly Carls, regional programming manager, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, said. "Coyote is the only Program Director WAMZ has ever had. He truly personifies Country music in the Louisville area. We appreciate his years of tireless dedication to our community, our clients and our listeners. We cannot thank Coyote enough."
