WSM Radio Adds Two New Shows
Eryn Cooper & Lexi Carter
WSM Radio has added two new shows to its lineup, On Air with Eryn, hosted by Eryn Cooper, and Late Nights with Lexi, hosted by Lexi Carter. Both begin Monday (May 20).
On Air with Eryn will take the afternoon drive slot from 3 to 7 p.m. and keep listeners up to date with all things Nashville while serving up the best in country music, exclusive interviews and the latest entertainment from Music City. Cooper, who has spent the last six months as the producer for the WSM Radio flagship show, Coffee, Country & Cody, will also host The Opry Warm Up Show where WSM sets the stage for an unforgettable evening of history-making performances at the Opry, previewing the artists set to perform and honoring Opry Members past and present.
“I’m absolutely over the moon to take this next step with WSM,” says Cooper. “This is an opportunity to carry on the prestigious history of country music’s most famed platform and combine it with the stories of the genre’s newest faces. Country music is meant to make folks feel at home, and I intend to make you feel that way every day during On Air with Eryn.”
Cooper is succeeded on Coffee Country and Cody by Annie Ney, a recent addition to WSM Radio as a Digital Content Coordinator. Ney will assist in the day-to-day production of the morning show simulcast on Circle Country and content distribution across various digital platforms.
Late Nights With Lexi will keep listeners company overnight from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. with a nostalgic mix of classic country from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s. Carter started at WSM Radio as a producer for Nashville Today, and quickly rose to host the afternoon drive show before serving as Music Director for WSM Radio, Opry Nashville and Route 650 in her current role.
“I’m thrilled to embark on this new chapter with WSM Radio,” shares Carter. “Late Nights with Lexi is not just a radio show; it is a platform for celebrating the rich tapestry of country music and the Grand Ole Opry while connecting with a new audience in the overnight hours.”
Listeners can tune in to both shows on WSM Radio starting May 20 both on-air at 650 AM and online via the WSM Radio website, the WSM Radio mobile app, iHeartRadio, TuneIn and more.
“It is an honor to oversee the expansion of the WSM On-Air team as more exciting announcements are on the horizon, coinciding with the 100-year celebration in 2025,” says WSM Radio General Manager Eric Marcum. “In a short time, Eryn has proven she can shine with the brightest stars in Nashville. Her talents, skills and work ethic are already proving successful both on air and in our digital outlets. Lexi is such a valued member of the WSM family, not only curating a music catalog synonymous with the sound of WSM but also providing a familiar and friendly voice on the air, with more programming opportunities on the way.”
