Get ready for a major shake-up in Atlanta's radio scene! Q99.7 Atlanta is introducing a brand-new afternoon show, and it’s already generating buzz. Starting Monday, January 26, listeners can tune in to The Kristin Show from 2-7pm, marking a fresh chapter for the station. But here's where it gets interesting: Kristin Klingshirn, the show’s host, will be joined by a yet-to-be-announced co-host, leaving fans guessing and eager for more details.
Klingshirn is no stranger to the airwaves. She made her mark at Q99.7’s The Bert Show as a co-host from 2011 until its conclusion last October. Before that, she spent five years co-hosting mornings at iHeartMedia’s G105 in Raleigh and even worked at Rock 100.1 in Lexington, KY. Her experience and charisma make her a natural fit for this new role, but the real question is: who will join her in the studio?
And this is the part most people miss: Klingshirn is stepping into the afternoon slot previously held by Jade Jones, who recently transitioned to a bigger role as co-host of Cumulus’ syndicated night show, Nightly with Jade & Tyler. Jones, alongside KMJK Kansas City’s Tyler Frye, debuted earlier this month, leaving a void at Q99.7 that Klingshirn is now filling. Jones had anchored afternoons since January 2021 after a stint hosting nights, so her departure is a significant shift for the station.
But here’s the controversial part: With Klingshirn’s move to afternoons, will The Kristin Show live up to the legacy left by Jones, or will it carve out a completely new identity? And what does the addition of an unnamed co-host mean for the show’s dynamic? These are the questions on every listener’s mind.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Klingshirn or a newcomer to Q99.7, one thing’s for sure: this new show is poised to make waves. What do you think? Will The Kristin Show become your new afternoon go-to, or do you have reservations? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
