Oshkosh Radio: First Baby 'Nash' Is Born

Baby 'Nash'

Cumulus has announced that Shawn Parr and Elaina Smith will broadcast “Nash Nights Live” from the WPKR 99.5 FM NASH FM  and 104.9 Oshkosh, WI studio on Tuesday, June 24 to celebrate the birth of the first NASH baby.

NASH FM listener Ashley Kimble named her newborn baby “Nash” after hearing the “Nash Nights Live” jingle night after night. Living in Brandon, Wisconsin, Ashley is a dedicated listener to NASH FM and fell in love with the name “Nash” from the moment she heard it on the radio. Nash Merwin Kimble was born on April 27, 2014.

“I listen to NASH all the time,” said Ashley Kimble. “It’s on at 5 a.m. when I’m feeding the baby and at 9 p.m. when I’m driving home from work. The name Nash is unique and seemed like the perfect name for my newborn!”
