iHeartMedia Honolulu's STAR 101.9 Announces Debut of The Woody Show

Honolulu, Hawaii – January 2, 2018 – iHeartMedia’s STAR 101.9, Hawaii’s top rated Alternative station, announced today the debut of The Woody Show, effective January 3, 2018. The top-rated morning show will broadcast Monday through Friday from 4 - 10 a.m. HST, and Saturdays from 6 to 10 a.m. HST.

The Woody Show is highly-interactive, socially-engaging appointment radio.  Featuring Woody, along with co-hosts Ravey, Greg Gory, Menace and Sebas, The Woody Show is described by listeners as “authentic,” “raw,” “unapologetic” and “recess/happy hour on the radio.” In 2016, the popular program was a NAB Marconi Radio Award finalist for “Major Market Personality of the Year,” and it was launched into national syndication by Premiere Networks in 2017. Fans can follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

“When this opportunity came up at Star 101.9...in HONOLULU, we told Jamie Hyatt, ‘yeah, good luck finding anyone interested in THAT!’” said Woody. “But, we talked it over and after less than a second, jumped at the chance to ‘take one for the team.’” 
 
“We are very excited to bring The Woody Show to Hawaii listeners,” said Jamie Hyatt, Senior Vice President of Programming, iHeartMedia Honolulu. “They bring a unique twist to morning radio that’s never been heard before. We expect the show to become an instant hit.”
