Kulp has been a staple in the Bay Area for nearly four decades. Prior to joining KISQ (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/106131/98-1-the-breeze-san-francisco-adds-jack-kulp-for-mornings/) in May 2016, Kulp spent 20 years (18 in mornings) at Bonneville AC 96.5 KOIT (https://koit.com). He has also hosted afternoons at “K101” KIOI from 1984 to 1990 and mornings at “Double 99” KDBK/KDBQ from 1990 to 1992. He began his career at WMAJ State College PA.
Johnson most recently served as APD for Alpha Media Country “98.7 The Bull” KUPL and AAA 101.9 KINK Portland until exiting last May. During his eleven year tenure at Alpha Media Portland he held multiple roles including National Digital Content Director, Imaging Director, hosting mornings, afternoons, and nights at KINK, middays and weekends at CHR “Live 95.5” KBFF, and producer, editor and anchor/reporter at News/Talk 101.1 KXL. He also served as PD/MD and morning host at Alternative “101.9 The End” KENZ Salt Lake City and cluster Promotions Director for Citadel Salt Lake City.

iHeartMedia San Francisco today announced that Jack Kulp will end his run as co-host in morning drive with Carolyn McArdle, effective May 5 on 98.1 The Breeze, San Francisco Bay Area’s Relaxing Favorites At Work.
?Being part of The Breeze launch seven years ago couldn?t have been more rewarding and co-hosting ?The Morning Breeze? with Carolyn McArdle was more fun than anyone should be allowed have at ?work,?? said Kulp. ?But a few months ago, my wife and I concluded that, after over 25 years of waking up at 3:45, it was time to silence the alarm clock. Thanks so much to Ricci Filiar, Don Parker, and iHeart for giving me this fantastic opportunity.?
Cort Johnson will replace Kulp as co-host of ?The Morning Breeze? and join Carolyn McArdle weekdays from 6am-10am starting Monday, May 8. Johnson was previously morning host at KINK-FM in Portland, where he was also Assistant Program Director for KINK-FM and KUPL-FM.
?We all want to congratulate Jack on his long and successful career and thank him for all his contributions to The Breeze since its launch in 2016. We wish him continued success and much happiness in the next chapter of his life,? said Ricci Filiar, Program Director. ?We also are happy to welcome Cort Johnson to The Breeze family and look forward to him and Carolyn McArdle taking ?The Morning Breeze? to exciting new heights.?
98.1 The Breeze full weekday on-air programing line-up:
?The Morning Breeze? from 6 –10 a.m.; Lisa St. Regis from 10 a.m. ? 3 p.m.; Tony Sandoval from 3 ? 8 p.m.; and ?Delilah? from 8 p.m. ? 1 a.m. ?Delilah? is a top-rated, nationally-syndicated show featuring her distinctive blend of storytelling, sympathetic listening and encouragement – all scored with adult contemporary music.
