Today, Urban One Inc.’s Reach Media and Radio One announced that Kyle Santillian, one of Chicago’s most popular personalities, is joining the nationally syndicated show The Morning Hustle.
“Kyle is an exceptional morning show anchor. His years of experience and passion for morning radio will be a fantastic addition to The Morning Hustle,” said Colby Tyner, Senior VP Programming of Urban One’s Radio One and Reach Media divisions.
For the past seven years Kyle anchored The Chicago Morning Takeover, where he served as ringleader for a cast that woke up the city every morning with laughs, news, interviews, entertainment gossip , skits, parodies, features, mix shows and more. He’ll bring that infectious energy to The Morning Hustle, now heard in approximately 30 urban markets. Prior to his run in Chicago, he led the 102 Jamz (WJMH) morning show in Greensboro, North Carolina.
“I’m extremely excited to be joining The Morning Hustle,” said Santillian. “Having a chance to be a part of a nationally syndicated show has always been a dream of mine and I don’t take it for granted! Thank you to David Kantor, Colby Colb and thank you to the entire Reach Media team! Now let’s get it!”
The Morning Hustle is the freshest program on radio with an entertaining, humorous, and informative take on urban pop culture from the millennial and Gen-Z point of view, meant to wake up its audience to the beat of today’s Hip Hop.
Meanwhile Headkrack quietly left the show last week as sources report his departure was a “mutual decision” as he did not quit or wasn't fired from the show.
The Morning Hustle was previously a local morning show on 93.9 WKYS in Washington, DC. with Angie Ange as lead host in 2019. Upon his leaving The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Headkrack joined up with Angie Ange, On Air Jordan (formerly known as Shorty Da Prince), Lore'l and Billy Sorrells to launch the nationally syndicated version of the show in January 2020 through Reach Media on Urban One stations replacing Rickey Smiley. The changes took place as Rickey Smiley became an Urban Adult formatted show replacing the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
Headkrack is working on other media projects, his music, and hosting TV's Dish Nation.
Headkrack recently released a Dish Nation interview from 2015 with De La Soul - RIP Dave “Trugoy the Dove.”

• Disney is said to have paid over $10 million to show ‘The Little Mermaid’ starring Halle Bailey ad during the 2023 Oscars telecast on ABC-TV last week according to IndieWire. ABC is a property of Disney and basically paid money to itself. “Actual money actually changed hands,” Indiewire reported, with a source saying the media companies are generally treated like “church and state.”
• Greg Gumbel, the in studio host of NCAA College basketball's March Madness on CBS, is stepping away from his play-by-play announcing gig on NFL broadcasts. At CBS, he hosted The NFL Today from 1990-1993. He joined NBC after CBS lost the NFC games to Fox. In 1998, Gumbel returned to CBS for NFL coverage as a play-by-play announcer, studio host in 2004 and 2005, and returning to calling NFL games since 2006. Greg Gumbel, 76, is the older brother of Bryant Gumbel.
• Josh Inness has joined Classic Rock station “KSHE 95” 94.7 FM in St. Louis to host afternoons. He most recently hosted mornings on iHeartMedia’s “105.9 The Rock” Nashville, a show that was syndicated to Detroit and Memphis. A former sports talk host known for his controversial takes, Inness said on Twitter recently, "I don’t want to do sports radio every day. I don’t like the vibe of it. It’s largely miserable."
In 2016 he got fired at a Philadelphia sports station (WIP) for posting a picture of black face vaudeville performer Al Jolson to call out rival station's (97.5 The Fanatic) bit where a white producer was imitating a fake black caller (named "Dee-Wayne") filled with every stereotypical characteristics he could think of. That producer still works at that station on the morning show. Inness gained support from Bomani Jones. >> “Dwayne From Swedesboro” Riles Up Philly Radio.
