Monday – Friday: 5:30am – 10am
We’re excited to welcome the newest member of our Q Morning Crew – Amanda Daughtry. Amanda is from Johnston County – JOCO! She has spent the last 10 years as a working singer-songwriter in Nashville and was a featured performer at some of Nashville’s most famous honky-tonks. She had the opportunity to tour with Alan Jackson and boy does she have some great stories to tell! She recently moved back to be closer to friends and family and has found a new home here at QDR.
Mike Wheless has been a mainstay on QDR for many years now. Mike is originally from Lee County and is a UNC grad. He lives in Knightdale with his wife Amy. He loves his Tarheels, his family, grilling, hanging out with friends, and being a part of your morning.
You can count on Mike and Amanda to put a smile on your face with laughter, fun-feel good stories, and great Country music.
Of course, we’ll make sure you know how to dress for the day and which way not to go with up-to-date traffic and weather with Captain Dave and Heather with Weather.
Have something to share? Call anytime during the show at 919-860-9470 or find us on Facebook.
