Rogers has been with KRLD as a reporter and anchor since 1992. A Dallas native, Rogers previously worked in Grand Junction CO and Beaumont TX prior to returning home in 1987 at then “Magic 102.9” KMGC. Rogers new show is described as “a unique and in-depth look at the top stories of the day and speaks directly with KRLD’s listeners about how those stories impact them.”
Kelley most recently served as News Director and afternoon talk host at Cox Media Group’s 580/107.3 WDBO Orlando from 2012 until being part of that company’s cuts last month (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/273304/many-names-affected-from-the-cox-media-group-cuts/). He previously worked on-air in Dallas at 570 KLIF and 820 WBAP in the early 2000s before joining Cox’s KRMG Tulsa in 2005.

Mike has resonated with our listeners for over three decades, and we have no doubt he will continue to provide informative, relevant content to them in middays. We?re equally excited to welcome Joe Kelley, who, with his rich background in news and multi-platform content distribution, will bring a wealth of experience and passion to our morning news.”
Kelley commented, “I am honored to join the esteemed KRLD brand and embrace the responsibility of upholding the legacy crafted by generations of broadcasters.
