Shelley Wynter, Mike Brooks join Talk 106.7

Originally posted April 17, 2018 by RODNEY HO/rho@ajc.com on his AJC Radio & TV Talk blog

After a long hunt for a morning show to replace Rob Stadler, Talk 106.7 chose to add former WAOK host Shelley Wynter. He's a conservative talk show host who happens to be black. And no surprise: he's a Donald Trump supporter.
Wynter was heard on WAOK in the mid -2000s.

The station also dumped Brian Joyce in the late afternoons and replaced him with Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson, who had been on from noon to 3 p.m. The Kimmer will now be heard from 3 to 6 p.m.

Mike Brooks, a long-time sub at the station, will now have the noon to 3 p.m. slot. He had previously been on-air law enforcement and public safety analyst for CNN.
