Audacy Boston has announced multiyear contract extensions with Mix 104.1 (WWBX-FM) morning show co-hosts Karson Tager and Kennedy Elsey. The duo are heard on weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET.
"In December 2008, my wife and I drove into Boston with Kennedy," said Karson. "We had no winter coats, and I had a head full of hair. 16 years later, I'm bald but can finally afford a good winter jacket. God and life are good. We're also very grateful to the entire team behind the scenes for their support."
"I came to Boston with two cats and my two friends excited (and terrified) for something new," said Kennedy. "The cats ran away, but Karson and Lana stuck with me through thick and thin. We are honored to make you laugh every morning. It’s a gift I get to open every day, and I’m so grateful."
