Columbia Residents Get Exciting New Start to Their Mornings!
Columbia has something new and exciting to kick-start your weekday mornings! As of January 7, 2025, the beloved adult contemporary radio station B106.7 has launched its very own Midlands Morning Show. This show, tailored for the local community, promises a delightful mix of high energy, engaging conversation, and of course, great tunes to accompany your morning commute.
A Local Touch with a Fresh Vibe
For the first time in seven years, listeners can tune in for a live and local morning experience at B106.7. This means all you early risers out there can expect fresh content that reflects the vibrant culture of Columbia. The show will air Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., making it perfect for you to catch up on local news or enjoy a soundtrack as you navigate traffic on your way to work or school.
Meet Your New Hosts
The dynamic duo bringing this show to life are Kaylin Mozdzen and Leo “LB” Baldwin. These two award-winning hosts are no strangers to the radio world, with an impressive background that delivers both charisma and professionalism to the airwaves.
Kaylin Mozdzen is particularly notable, having been named the 2024 South Carolina Broadcasters Association Radio Personality of the Year. She is not only the morning co-host but will also continue to light up the midday slot from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Prior to joining B106.7, she co-hosted a morning show in Utica-Rome, New York, which has prepared her to make waves in Columbia’s radio scene.
On the other hand, you have Leo “LB” Baldwin, who is no stranger to the station. He has been the program director and operations manager for Cumulus Columbia, and prior to this, he hosted the afternoon show from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. starting in June 2023. With years of experience anchoring mornings in Honolulu, Hawaii, Baldwin is set to bring his flair and knowledge into the mix.
What to Expect from the Midlands Morning Show
The Midlands Morning Show aims to connect with the local audience in a way that resonates. Expect a lively atmosphere filled with engaging discussions, community-centric topics, and a hearty dose of music to put you in the right mood for the day. Whether you’re commuting or enjoying a morning coffee at home, the show is set to motivate and entertain.
One of the unique selling points of the show is its strong local flavor. This is about more than just music or banter; it’s about bringing the community together and offering a platform where local events, businesses, and stories can shine. Columbia has so much to offer, and this show comes as great news for local businesses looking to connect with residents first thing in the morning.
Excitement from the Leadership
The team behind Cumulus Columbia/Florence is equally thrilled about this new chapter in local radio. They believe that Kaylin and LB will not only bring energy and fun to the mornings, but they also possess the skills to create an engaging and enjoyable listening experience for everyone tuning in.
As you grab your morning coffee, head to work, or get the kids ready for school, be sure to tune in to the Midlands Morning Show. This new addition to B106.7 will not only make your mornings brighter but will also bring the community together in a beautiful way.
So get ready to join Kaylin Mozdzen and Leo “LB” Baldwin as they take the reins of your mornings with enthusiasm, connection, and a sprinkle of fun, Columbia!
