Albany, N.Y. – January 04, 2021 – iHeartMedia Albany’s News Radio 810 & 103.1 WGY, The Capital Region’s Breaking News, Traffic & Weather Station, announced today that Doug Goudie will join the morning show along with current co-host Kelly Lynch, effective January 7, 2021. The morning show broadcasts weekdays from 5:30 a.m. – 9 a.m.
“With Doug’s rich experience as a recent midday talk host on iHeartMedia Boston’s WRKO, TV Commentator on WFXT-TV and long-stint on The Howie Carr Radio Show, I’m confident that he will satisfy the expectations of WGY listeners for years to come,” said Jeff Wolf, News and Program Director for WGY. “The heart of what brings so many Capital Region listeners to WGY in the morning will remain unchanged. Doug and Kelly will both entertain and inform with meaningful conversations on the important local and national stories of the day but having fun will continue to be part of the show as well.”
“I think our morning show listeners will really enjoy Doug,” said Lynch. “He’s genuine, smart, funny and an engaging storyteller. Plus, he’s from the Northeast, so he’s not afraid of snowstorms or dealing with me!”
“I am very much looking forward to working with Kelly and the rest of the talented team at one of the most iconic radio brands in America,” said Goudie. “I cannot wait to get started!”
Goudie fills the vacancy created in December after former co-host Chuck Custer retired after more than 36 years with WGY.
