Entercom Alternative 104.3 The Shark WSFS Miramar/Miami is launching a new
morning show as night host Toast will join current morning host Ashley Owen
for The Big Mistake with Ashley Toast. Greg Toast Lemega was previously
part of the Paul Young Ron Show on iHeartMedia Classic Rock Big 105.9 WBGG
before taking a three year radio sabbatical prior to joining WSFS last
October. Owen previously worked Cox Media where she hosted nights at 97.3
WFLC prior to its flip to CHR and fill-ins at Soft AC Easy 93.1 WFEZ.
Entercom South Florida announced today that Greg Toast Lemega will join
current morning show host Ashley Owen on their new morning show, The Big
Mistake with Ashley Toast. The show will air weekdays from 6a – 10a and
feature great content and music to entertain South Florida during the
morning commute. Greg Toast Lemega has been in the Miami market since his
debut in 1997 on 94.9 Zeta. The majority of his career was spent as on-air
producer/sports guy for The Paul Young Ron Show while also doing time on
various Miami sports stations. After a radio sabbatical of nearly 3 years,
he began doing nights on 104.3 The Shark in October and will now move to
mornings to co-host alongside Ashley O. Toast is married and childlessjust
the way he likes it. Ashley Owen is a native South Florida girl who firmly
believes that Coke tastes better from a glass bottle and flip flops are the
glass slippers of the south. She is the current morning show host on the
Shark and a native South Floridian. “Ashley and Toast are the perfect combo
and will bring a great energy to mornings on the Shark,� said John
O’Connell, Program Director of 104.3 The Shark. “Their knowledge of
alternative and pop music, irreverent style and connection to the community
will make for a great drive to work!�
