ANY local talent on Coast?

I know this station simulcasts the Matty show from Kiss 108 in the morning, complete with Top 40/CHR music, which is insane. And I think they have Ryan Seacrest as well (or they did). But it would appear that there IS someone local named Kristin Lessard, who does Weekdays from 10am to 3pm. Last I heard, Coast had NO local talent. How many of their DJs are local?
 
Coast is the very near future of Providence radio.The days of having a job as a local on air jock is going the way of the Dinosaur."EXSTINCT".It is still on LIFE SUPPORT locally.With the doctor waiting to pronounce it dead

Ok ,So the lumber has been ordered to board up the doors and windows.The work men will have there choice of a Boston Simulcast on (pick station) while they do thier thing...
 
I'm actually surprised CC didn't make 93.3 become CHR as "Kiss 93.3" or "93.3 Kiss-FM" just like 95.3 in NH did. Basically a mirror of Kiss 108 for mornings, plus the new "Premium Choice" stuff.

A name change would do that place good. COAST is very outdated. At least calling it KISS could possibly make people think something exciting was happening over there.

Kristin is it. She's part of the B101 morning show and voicetracks Coast middays.

Kristin also did nights at WROR/Boston a couple of years ago (the same 7pm-midnight shift that Stella Mars currently holds down). She also did weekends there and every once in a great while, you could hear her voice pop up on the occasional weekend shift.
 
Kristin Lessard was a night jock for most of the 90s at 103.7 WRX, and as WRX was about to switch over to FNX, she took a job in morning drive at then 92.9 WBOS. That's how she eventually ended up doing some weekends at WROR, then moved back to RI do co-host mornings at B101.

As far as Coast, and Providence radio in general, I don't think many average, everyday listeners really notice the fact that most of the jocks are voicetracked or that the stations are being programmed from out of town. CHRs and AC stations program to the national charts anyway, while rock and alternative stations, especially the good ones, still have some type of local element to them.
