Longtime WSOC-FM personalities Charlie & Debbie will take over the morning show at Country 103.7 beginning Monday, June 22, following the retirement of longtime host Tanner.
The duo, who have been on the Beasley Media Group station for more than 20 years and most recently hosted afternoons, were announced as the new morning team on Friday.
Beasley Media Group Charlotte Vice President and Market Manager Mac Edwards said the pair’s deep connection with listeners and strong community ties made them the ideal choice. He highlighted their chemistry, warmth, and passion for country music as key strengths for the morning slot.
Beasley Chief Content Officer Justin Chase added that Charlie & Debbie excel at authentic audience connections and align with the company’s focus on local entertainment and community engagement during mornings.
In a joint statement, Charlie & Debbie said they are honored to help start listeners’ days after years of joining them on afternoon commutes. They called Country 103.7 listeners “family” and joked that the shift simply means “getting the reunion started earlier each day.”
The pair also thanked Tanner and his longtime morning team for their friendship and congratulated Tanner on his retirement after more than two decades on air.
Captain Jim, who has been part of the Tanner in the Morning Show, will stay with the new morning program, continuing to deliver traffic reports and other contributions.
