Suzi Hanks exits 106.9-107.5 The Eagle

Mike McGuff, Suzi Hanks and John Harris after a taping of Hank's public affairs show FYI.

Suzi Hanks has exited The Dean and Rog Show on 106.9 and 107.5 The Eagle KGLK after nearly 17 years with the show as co-host, news anchor and producer.

In addition to Dean and Rog, Hanks was also the Public Affairs Director for Cox Media Group Houston where she hosted For Your Information (FYI) which aired on all of the company's Houston stations.

"Thank you so much to all my friends and listeners for reaching out to me recently," Hanks said on her personal Facebook account and gave mikemcguff.com permission to reprint here. "If you haven’t heard, my more than 20 years on Houston morning radio has come to a close. I am so grateful for you all and look forward to updating you soon on my next chapter in life. The possibilities are exciting!"

Mark Krieschen, VP/Market Manager of Cox Media Group - Houston, told mikemcguff.com that Hanks' contract expired this month and the company made a decision not to renew her agreement.

Hanks was with Cox Media Group for 10 years. Before CMG, she worked with the Dean and Rog Show at what was then Clear Channel's 93.7 The Arrow KKRW. She joined the long running Houston morning show in 2003.

Before working with Dean and Rog, Hanks was an award winning reporter for News Radio 740 KTRH for five years.

Prior to Houston, she worked her first radio job at KYCN in Wyoming.

Hanks actually started her broadcasting career in television as a reporter at KTWO Casper, Wyoming and KGWN Cheyenne, Wyoming. Her entry into the biz was through the NBC Page program working on shows like The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Days of Our Lives, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, Classic Concentration, Donahue, and Late Night with David Letterman.

She is a graduate of California State Long Beach.

In her spare time, Hanks has volunteered for Gulf Coast Big Brothers Big Sisters, Inc. where she was honored as Big Sister of the Year 2011.

She also reads for Taping for the Blind, Inc. Her efforts were featured by AP and NPR's All Things Considered.

According to The Eagle website, Producer Hoss is now producing the Dean and Rog show. UPDATE: Producer Hoss informed me he has been producing the show for the last three years.

Suzi Hanks is still on Dean and Rog

Dean and Rog of 107.5 The Eagle KGLK pulled off a big Aprils Fool's Day prank Friday.

After an on-air 'fight' Suzi Hanks was 'fired' during Friday's show. The morning radio show pranksters admitted it was all a joke Friday and then again this morning.

Friday my blog exploded with people searching for Suzi. I'm still getting emails about it today.

Good one.

UPDATE
This post was featured on the Dean and Rog show after I posted it. I stand corrected. The joke was that Suzi was fired, then she came to the studio and confronted Michele Fisher who I believe 'was taking her job.'

Tune into The New 93Q KKBQ, 97.1 Country Legends and The Eagle on 106.9 and 107.5 to hear Mike McGuff talking about his Alzheimer's story

Mike McGuff, Suzi Hanks, John Harris

Thanks for making my appearance on KPRC 2's Houston Newsmakers for the Alzheimer's Association one of the most read posts on my blog! That means a lot.

This Sunday morning at five, I'll be talking Alzheimer's disease across all of COX Media Group's Houston stations - The New 93Q KKBQ, 97.1 Country Legends and The Eagle on 106.9-107.5.

Director of Texas Federal Public Policy John Harris and I talk with Suzi Hanks of the Dean And Rog Morning Show on her public affairs show FYI.

I'll share my story of Alzheimer's concerning my mother's early diagnoses and my role as a young caregiver.

 To be honest with you, doing these interviews can be emotional for me, but I know that raising awareness is well worth it.

Last year, Alzhiemer Ambassadors like myself, along with the Association, got the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act signed into law by sharing our stories.

Dean and Rog to land at 107.5 K-Hits KGLK

We can only imagine since 107.5 K-Hits has changed its call letters to KGLK that the station is changing its image. What a perfect time to change when Dean and Rog take over the morning show June 1.

Speaking of Dean and Rog, The Houston Chronicle's David Barron had a long talk with the Houston morning radio show duo:

They do not shrink from the opportunity to spell out the differences between listening to Dean and Rog and to Walton and Johnson. “The problem with the show that has replaced us is that we all have opinions. We all have politics,” [Roger] Beaty said. “But our whole point when we go on the air is we realize there are a number of our listeners that really are dreading going to their jobs. And this is the truth. What is it that we say, Dean? ‘If we can make a few people laugh …’ ”

“We always said that if we could make just one person laugh out there ... we would be fired because it’s not enough,” [Dean] Myers said. “We need more of them laughing. Really, we do try to take people away from the problems of the world. Man, there are a lot of problems in the world, and you don’t want to think about that stuff all day.” READ MORE

Barron says Dean and Rog will run from 5 to 10am followed by Suzi Hanks from 10am to noon.

abc 13 KTRK morning traffic anchor Katherine Whaley is expecting

A post shared by Elita Loresca (@elitaabc13) on Jan 22, 2019 at 5:10am PST

At the end of the morning newscast today, abc13 KTRK morning traffic anchor Katherine Whaley announced she is pregnant with her first child. Whaley's baby is due this summer.

"It's a little bit of a secret I've been keeping for several weeks now, but couldn't really keep it much longer so decided to make it public," Whaley said on Facebook Live. "Baby is due in July just a few weeks after Samica's [Knight]."

Whaley and husband Chris Wadley were married in May of 2016. See the photos.

She went on to post on Instagram:

Oh baby! Chris and I are so excited to share that we have a little one on the way! ❤️
Can’t wait to meet you this summer, sweet baby. You are already so loved.

Speaking of kids, my boys are out sick this week. Both tested positive for the flu and one also tested positive for strep. We will see how many posts I can make this week. Luckily have some already written for you because the Houston media never sleeps.

So far I have no symptoms. I'll keep washing my hands and taking vitamin C.

As a result of the illnesses, I had to pass up on an opportunity to go on air with Suzi Hanks from 106.9 and 107.5 Houston's Eagle to talk about Alzheimer's disease advocacy and the fight against it this week, but listen for that in the future.

Kelly Ryan Joins Dean & Rog on 106.9-107.5 Houston’s Eagle

HOUSTON – May 30, 2019 – Cox Media Group (CMG) Houston has promoted Kelly Ryan to full-time co-host for The Eagle’s Dean & Rog Morning Show effective immediately.

“Kelly has been a longtime member of The Eagle family so I’m happy she’s found a permanent spot on the Dean & Rog Morning Show,” says Johnny Chiang, Director of Operations for CMG Houston. “Her enthusiasm, sense of humor, and ability to ‘put up with the boys’ made her the perfect choice for the role.”

Ryan was most recently the traffic reporter for CMG Houston and has also served in other on-air talent and production roles since she joined the company in 2014.

Prior to CMG, she was on-air talent for KKRW 93.7 The Arrow, which was The Eagle’s only direct format competitor until KKRW flipped formats at the end of 2013. Her 28+ years of experience in radio and natural chemistry with Dean & Rog make her a strong fit for her new role.

“I listened to Dean & Rog when they were in Denver,” states Ryan. “Now I have the privilege to be a part of the show. It’s truly a dream come true - and they're paying me!”
