Natasha Castles
Beginning today, CBS RADIO Phoenix will be bringing local listeners more of the on-air station voices they enjoy. Natasha Castles has been named the newest member of The Morning Mess on KALV LIVE 101.5 FN , joining hosts Joey Boy and Aneesh, weekdays from 6:00 am to 10:00 am.

Over on the New Country KMLE 107.9 FM, Jeana Shepard has been named the new night personality and can be heard weekdays from 9:00 pm to 12:00 am.

“Both Natasha and Jeana are amazing on-air talents that have already entertained and connected with our audiences,” said Tim Richards, Vice President of Programming, CBS RADIO Phoenix.

“With Natasha joining Joey Boy and Aneesh on The Morning Mess we know there are great things in store for morning listeners. The KMLE Nation has always been a big supporter of Jeana and we’re excited to have her back on the station as our night host. Finding personalities that resonate with our listeners is always our number one priority so we’re thrilled that we were able to tap into two great talents already with the CBS RADIO Phoenix team.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to take this new journey with The Morning Mess and expand my passion for radio,” said Castles. “Joey Boy and Aneesh are amazing and it already feels like family. CBS RADIO and the LIVE 101.5 team have been supportive and I am beyond grateful to Dave Pugh and Tim Richards for the opportunity to grow even more in this market. I can’t wait to get started!”

“I’m so excited to be back full time on KMLE,” said Shepard. “KMLE has always had a piece of my heart and it’s an awesome feeling to be coming back! I never really ’left’ being on weekends, but being full time again on KMLE is an incredible feeling. I’m excited to learn and grow more as I also continue on Live 101.5!”

Castles will retain her position as the afternoon host on LIVE 101.5 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Shepard replaces Castles as the night personality on the New KMLE @ 107.9 and will continue on as the midday host on LIVE 101.5, weekdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
