Chris O'Brien and Janeen Coyle
103.5 WGRR Cincinnati
Weekdays 5-9am
The WGRR morning team of Chris O’Brien and Janeen Coyle have been married for 23 years, and have worked together in some capacity for longer than that!
Chris & Janeen met while both worked at Cincinnati’s WKRQ in 1979. They married 6 years later.
Chris began in radio while a teen in his native South Carolina, working in the south before being offered a job in Clevelandwhile in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Chris moved from Cleveland to Cincinnati in 1974. Except for doing afternoons at Chicago’s WMET 1977-78, Chris was with WKRQ for nearly 13 years. He was named Best Radio Voice by Cincinnati Magazine and aBillboard Personality of the year nominee. Chris joined WGRR in 1991. (Little known fact: Chris was the first announcer for the Jerry Springer Show when it began – yikes!) Chris is also an honorary Kentucky Colonel, son!
Janeen joined WKRQ in 1979 while attending the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory Of Music. She began with overnights, worked middays, and later moved to afternoon drive where she remained until 1988. From there Janeen did talk radio, hosting the very popular Chick Talk show. Janeen co-hosted morning drive with on WKRC until she was contacted about joining Chris in 1995 and forming the unique husband & wife team. The two even did a daily live morning “watercooler” segment, simulcast on Cincinnati’s WCPO-TV for four years.
Chris & Janeen are very involved in the community, appearing at fundraising events and supporting the Arthritis Foundation, SPCA, Diabetes Association, Breast Cancer Awareness (Chris's mom is a survivor), Ronald McDonald House Charities, Cincinnati Association for the Blind, and Kindervelt, among others in the tri-state area.
Their son, Dylan, who attends the University of Cincinnati, has been a part of their show since he was born! And not to be forgotten, Frank-The-Pug, also noses his way in!
