Audacy country \u201c100.7 The Wolf\u201d KKWF-FM Seattle is betting on a new morning duo to help reset its weekday lineup. The station has launched \u201cEllen & Aaron,\u201d featuring Ellen Tailor and Aaron Crawford, who will now lead morning drive weekdays from 6-10am PT.<\/p>\n
The move gives \u201cThe Wolf\u201d a refreshed on-air approach in mornings, pairing two locally rooted personalities with deep ties to the Pacific Northwest country and entertainment scenes. They succeed \u201cThe Morning Wolfpack,\u201d which was dissolved with the departure of Matt McAllister<\/a> and the subsequent move of co-host Gabe Mercer<\/a> from KKWF to co-owned \u201cCountry 107.9\u201d KMLE Phoenix.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to bring Ellen back home and welcome Aaron to mornings on 100.7 The Wolf,\u201d said Brand Manager Drew Bland. \u201cWith Ellen\u2019s established rapport and Aaron\u2019s local stage presence, this show is a celebration of everything our community loves. Our listeners are in for a ride as we set a new chapter in Northwest mornings.\u201d<\/p>\n For Tailor, the return to \u201cThe Wolf\u201d marks something of a homecoming. She previously hosted mornings and middays at the station from 2011-2017, earning a CMA nomination for Major Market Personality. She transitioned to television in 2018 as a morning features reporter for \u201cFox 13\u201d KCPQ-TV, expanding her presence across Seattle media. Outside of broadcasting, she also serves as the official in-stadium voice of the Seattle Reign, further cementing her profile in the local sports and entertainment landscape.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat made this idea of returning to 100.7 The Wolf exciting was that it didn\u2019t feel like going backward,\u201d Tailor said. \u201cIt felt like adding something new and creatively fulfilling to a life I already loved, and I\u2019m grateful to the team at Audacy for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n Crawford, meanwhile, brings a blend of music credibility and on-air experience to the pairing. A touring artist across the Northwest, he has recorded five studio albums and performed more than 200 shows in 2025 alone. In addition to his music career, he has been a familiar voice on the station as host of \u201cCascade Country,\u201d a weekly program highlighting regional artists every Sunday night.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m beyond excited to join the team at The Wolf,\u201d Crawford said. \u201cThe opportunity to be a part of such an incredibly creative environment, and to join forces with Ellen Tailor on her return to morning radio, is such an honor. I can\u2019t wait to be part of the way the Great Northwest wakes up.\u201d<\/p>\n Behind the scenes, \u201cEllen & Aaron\u201d will be guided by executive producer Captain Ron Koons, an Army veteran and Washington native.<\/p>\n The launch also anchors a revised weekday lineup across the station. Following \u201cEllen & Aaron\u201d in mornings, Audacy national hosts fill out the rest of the weekly on-air lineup. \u201cKatie & Company\u201d takes over middays (10am- 3pm, followed by \u201cAfternoons with Coop\u201d (3-7pm) and \u201cRob & Holly\u201d from 7-10pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Audacy country \u201c100.7 The Wolf\u201d KKWF-FM Seattle is betting on a new morning duo to help reset its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,4975,157,111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-417443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-free","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
