What it doesn’t have is a lot of music. Or a lot of New York , write David
Hinckley at NY Daily News.
Blair Garner, lead host of the show on WNSH (Nash-FM, 94.7),
used to work at WPLJ, so he knows the city and will occasionally refer to a
place he likes on, say, 72nd St.
His partners — country singers Terri Clark, Sunny Sweeney
and Chuck Wicks, plus Lee Ann Womack on Fridays — are more likely to discuss Canada or Nashville ,
where the show originates.

New Yorkers will recognize Jeff McKay, who cuts in with
regular traffic reports. But it’s clear he’s here and they’re there, just as
Robin Meade of HLN reads the headlines from somewhere else.
Garner has tried to bring New York into the conversation during the
show’s first week, referring regularly to “the city” and riffing on our heat
wave.
But he didn’t walk to work in it. This program is called “America ’s
Morning Show” for a reason: Cumulus Media, which owns the station, ultimately
wants it everywhere, not tied to one city.
That’s not bad, just a different kind of radio.
