"It's been an amazing ride to have such a unique seat on this side of the microphone, and I've found the same to be true of radio as I do about performing; it's all about the fans who share the passion for the music. It all comes down to our listeners, and we have the best," said Pure Country 106 morning show host and country music singer/songwriter Jason McCoy.
"We take great pride in being active in our community, connecting with the great Pure Country 106 listeners and having as much fun on the air while doing it, so thanks to all who voted for us," Duncan added.
