Westwood One Launches 'Morning Koffy' Show


CUMULUS MEDIA’s Westwood One today launches Morning Koffy, a new Country radio morning show airing Monday-Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET. Paul Koffy, an award-winning broadcaster widely known for his authentic and perceptive interview style, hosts the syndicated program with Jasmine Sadry, another veteran Country morning radio personality, as his sidekick. 

Each morning, Koffy and Sadry offer an energetic mix of today’s Country music hits, timely news updates, and interviews with top Country music stars, celebrities, and notable guests. 

Paul Koffy
“Well known in the radio industry and well-liked by Country artists, Paul is the ideal host for this new show,” said Suzanne Grimes, EVP Marketing, CUMULUS MEDIA and President, Westwood One. “Paul has spent his entire career in Country music and, surprisingly, has never before hosted a program from Nashville – we can’t wait to see what he does from Music City. With Jasmine on the other mic, this show is one good morning brew.” 

“The fact that this team came together over hours of Zoom and phone calls is proof that we are turning a new page at Westwood One Nashville,” said Paul Williams, Director of Programming for Westwood One Nashville. “With Paul’s home-spun ‘my tractor is more expensive than my car’ attitude and Jasmine’s Texas swagger, they just light it up together.” 

“This opportunity to serve stations, businesses, communities, and individuals meets in a junction box with pivotal timing, an enormous platform, and a swell of creatives,” said Koffy. “I am deeply thankful for everyone who has been a part of bringing this together and stoked to be on the team.” 

Jasmine Sadry
Before hosting the morning show at Country station KMNB Minneapolis, Paul Koffy was on-air with Country station KPLX Dallas. Koffy was previously with Country stations WUBL Atlanta and WFUS Tampa. The Utah Broadcasters Association awarded Koffy with “best morning show” while he was with KEGA Salt Lake City. Koffy has also been honored with a Country Music Association award for Personality of the Year. 

Jasmine Sadry has been in broadcast media for 18 years, by way of stints at FOX Sports, CBS, ESPN, KVUE-TV, and iHeart with a lot of random TV and voice work in between. Her bits have been featured on MTV2’s “Ain’t That America” and the MLB Network. Sadry was nominated for “2018 CMA Broadcast Personality of The Year” for her work co-hosting a Country morning show on KSCS Dallas. Sadry is a co-host of First and 10s, a podcast about sports from a woman’s perspective. 

Morning Koffy is available via XDS Receiver. For more information on Morning Koffy, contact Todd Alan at (212) 735-1107 or talan@westwoodone.com.
