ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Mix 96.5 (WOXL-FM), part of Asheville Media Group, announced today a new weekday lineup with a fresh morning show and a live, local afternoon show on Asheville’s Good Music, Good Mood station.
Starting today, The TJ Show is on Mix 96.5 Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Hosted by radio veteran TJ Taormina, the show blends humor, pop culture, and upbeat conversation, and keeps a hope in humanity point of view.
In the afternoons, The Melanie Show airs live and local weekdays from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Melanie Wilkinson has been part of Mix 96.5 mornings since 2022, and she is bringing her trademark positive energy to the drive home.
“I’m excited to bring the same laughs, music, and positivity people have come to expect from me, with fun daily topics, real conversation, and plenty of listener interaction,” Wilkinson said. “The show is built to feel familiar and upbeat, whether people are leaving work, picking up the kids, or running errands around Western North Carolina.”
Steve Richards, Operations Director for Asheville Media Group, said the goal is simple: keep Mix 96.5 feeling good all day, and make afternoons a place listeners can really plug into locally.
“We’re excited to start this new chapter,” Richards said. “Mix 96.5 has always been about Good Music, Good Mood, and this lineup keeps that going from start to finish. TJ brings a fun, real approach to mornings, and Melanie will do what she does best: connect with our community in an authentic and energetic way.”
