Cumulus Media has debuted a new morning show on adult hits “107.9 The Mix” WNTR Indianapolis, while shuffling its weekday lineup at CHR sister WZPL (99.5).
“The Morning Mix with Toni & Ryan” features Toni DeKeyser, former “Mix” midday host and co-host of WZPL’s “Smiley Morning Show,” and Ryan Swiger, who in addition to co-hosting “Morning Mix” will continue to host afternoons on WZPL as “Crash.”
As a result of the new morning show on “The Mix,” the “Smiley” show’s “Producer Will” Pfaffenberger, who had also hosted middays on WZPL, moves to middays on “The Mix,” replacing DeKeyser, who becomes WZPL’s midday host.
“We are incredibly excited to bring the Indianapolis area a live, local morning show that truly reflects the lives of the listeners we serve every day,” Cumulus Media Regional VP Darlene Park says. “Toni and Ryan bring an authentic connection to our community, not only as talented entertainers but as parents navigating many of the same experiences as our audience. From raising teenagers to surviving sleepless nights with twins, they understand the joys, challenges and humor of family life. We believe their chemistry, relatability and passion for our great community will make mornings on The Mix 107.9 FM a destination for listeners seeking connection, entertainment and a great start to their day.”
DeKeyser adds, “I couldn’t be more excited about this new morning show! We’re hoping to bring a fresh, upbeat energy to mornings — lots of positivity, fun and, hopefully, a reason to smile before you’ve even had your first cup of coffee.”
