One of the biggest personalities in Texas radio is making another high-profile move, and this one has the potential to reshape mornings in one of America’s most competitive radio markets.
Beginning August 10, Ben Rogers and Jeff “Skin” Wade will bring The Ben & Skin Show to mornings on iHeartMedia’s Lonestar 92.5, ending an afternoon run on 97.1 The Eagle that began in early 2020 and opening yet another chapter in one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s most recognizable radio careers.
If there’s one thing that has defined Ben and Skin over the past two decades, it’s their ability to evolve while remaining unmistakably themselves.
Whether entertaining listeners on music stations, sports outlets, or talk formats, the duo has consistently built loyal audiences by blending humor, pop culture, sports, and authentic chemistry into a style that’s uniquely North Texas.
Their résumé reads like a tour through Dallas broadcasting history.
From Live 105.3 to ESPN 103.3, 105.3 The Fan, 97.1 The Eagle, and now Lonestar 92.5, Ben and Skin have remained fixtures in the market, proving that great personalities often transcend format. Few local shows have demonstrated the kind of staying power they’ve achieved while continuing to reinvent themselves along the way.
Making the move with them are longtime newscaster Kevin “KT” Turner and producer Krystina Ray, keeping the show’s familiar chemistry intact as it settles into its new morning home.
For iHeartMedia, the addition is much more than filling an opening.
It’s bringing proven, market-tested talent into one of radio’s most important dayparts.
Morning drive has long been considered the heartbeat of any station. It’s where habits are formed, relationships are built, and brands become part of listeners’ daily routines. Adding a team with decades of credibility in Dallas gives Lonestar 92.5 an immediate opportunity to strengthen its identity while reconnecting with listeners who have followed Ben and Skin throughout their careers.
The move also reflects a broader truth about local radio.
Great personalities still matter.
In an era dominated by streaming services, podcasts, and endless entertainment choices, local hosts who genuinely know their city continue to provide something algorithms never can—a shared experience rooted in the community they serve.
Ben and Skin have spent years becoming part of Dallas-Fort Worth’s daily conversation.
Now they’ll be helping listeners start their day instead of ending it.
For Dallas radio, it’s another reminder that talent movement remains one of the industry’s biggest storylines. Familiar voices continue finding new homes, stations continue repositioning their brands, and listeners ultimately decide which shows become part of their daily routine.
On August 10, one of the market’s most recognizable radio teams will wake up with North Texas once again.
And you can bet the rest of the market will be listening.
