Cumulus Media Classic Hits KHYT (K-Hit 107.5)/Tucson will launch its new morning show, “Dakota & Andy,” on Tuesday, May 31. The program will be hosted by veteran on-air personalities Dakota and Andy Taylor and will air Monday through Friday from 5:00 am-10:00 am. The duo will step into the morning show slot previously held by K-Hit 107.5 morning host Tim Tyler, who announced his retirement from radio earlier this month and signs off today after a successful 51-year career.
Andy Taylor heads to K-Hit Mornings from afternoons on the station. Dakota moves to Mornings on K-Hit 107.5 from nights and Saturday afternoons on the station.

Herb Crowe, OM/PD of KHYT, said, “While all of us at K-Hit are happy for Tim Tyler as he starts a new chapter of his life, we’re also incredibly excited about the opportunity to expand and develop the talents of Dakota and Andy in their new morning show roles. They are both extremely familiar with the Tucson market and bring a wealth of experience and creativity to morning drive.”
Dakota commented, “I am thrilled, ecstatic, over the moon and still a bit in shock about being given the honor to create a morning show with Andy Taylor. I am looking forward to a whole world of possibilities as well as the new friendships and partnerships Andy and I will be making. Through all of life’s ups and downs, radio has always been my one true love.”
Taylor added, “I’m really excited for the opportunity to shake K-Hit 107.5 listeners out of bed with great morning radio. Together, Dakota and I will help get rid of the sleepies!”
