Charlotte Radio: Bob & Sheri Land WKQC-FM As Home Station

Just days after being asked to EXIT from WLNK 107.9 FM, their local Charlotte home for 29-years, Bob Lacy & Sheri Lynch seem to have found a new outlet in their home market. 

The Charlotte Observer reports a little more than a week from now, the duo behind one of the city’s most renowned morning shows will be back on the air at Beasley Media WKQC 104.7 FM, starting May 17th.

The two reportedly have already signed a multi-year deal.  The duo are scheduled to make a guest appearance on K 104.7’s current morning show, “Phil & Mel In The Morning,” at 8:25 on Monday 5/10) to announce the news to listeners.

“They were really motivated, wanted to move fast and we had no reason to slow it down,” Lynch said. “We came to a deal that we all loved really quickly, and the best part of it was ... Beasley is not cutting (anyone). There’s no head-count change. They’re keeping all of their employees, which we love.”

Once Bob & Sheri starts airing on K 104.7, “Phil & Mel” will move to the afternoon time slot, while Jack Daniel will move from afternoons to middays. At that point, Melany Myers — who has been working middays on her own after finishing up mornings with Phil Harris — will scale back to just doing the afternoon show with Harris.

“When we heard that (‘Bob & Sheri’ and WLNK) were separating, we were on it right away,” said Bill Schoening, vice president/market manager at Beasley Broadcast Group. “It’s a privilege to have such an iconic talent join our station, and the Beasley Media Group.”

“Bob & Sheri” had been on WLNK since the duo came together for the first time more than 29 years ago. This spring, however, the station’s new owner — Urban One — has been re-shifting its priorities. It recently changed the station’s nickname from “The Link” to “Mix 107.9,” put more emphasis back on music, and moved afternoon show “Matt & Ramona” to the morning. Urban One only was able to do that after announcing the end of its relationship with “Bob & Sheri” on April 30, a surprise that came as a significant blow to the show’s fans in the Charlotte area.

Presently, Lynch, Lacey and their staff are still producing and broadcasting from home, which they’ve been doing since the pandemic started worsening last year. Eventually, though, Lynch said they hope to be able to do the show from Beasley’s South End building (which is also home to “V101.9” WBAV-FM, Fox Sports Charlotte WBCN-FM, “Kiss 95.1” WNKS-FM, “Power 98” WPEG-FM, and “Country 103.7” WSOC-FM.)

The Bob & Sheri Show currently airs on 69 affiliate stations in other marketrs across the country.
