Raleigh Radio: The Gates Are New AM Hosts At WRAL-FM

Gene and Julie Gates

Husband-wife team Gene and Julie Gates will take over July 28 as morning hosts on WRAL 101.5 FM MIX.

“'The Gene and Julie Show' is smart, funny and real, elements we believe relate to the core MIX listener,” station general manager Ardie Gregory said.

“This is a proven morning show with great chemistry and a successful track record. We know that personalities are a powerful asset for traditional radio and are very excited that Gene and Julie are joining us.”

Gene and Julie Gates met in 1995 and have lived and worked in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta and, most recently, Dallas on KVIL, where they were the first show in thirteen years to return mornings to #1 in the ratings.

“We have learned so much and have so many great stories to tell,” said Gene Gates. “We can’t wait to start our new show in Raleigh!”
