Smoov, a veteran radio programmer and air talent, will continue to serve 92Q as Program Director, in addition to his new role as Morning Show Host. Smoov has served as Red Carpet/Backstage talent for the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and The Grammys. He is also the Afternoon Host for Westwood One’s The Touch Format airing nationwide and is a well-respected club and concert DJ.
Joining Smoov on “The Kenny Smoov Morning Show” is Sissy Brown, radio personality, social media maven, and former Tennessee Titans, cheerleader.

I want to put on a show that you can drink your coffee too because you know we’re going to give you a smile, some information, a great contest, some music, and BAM…you’re at work!
