Audacy AC \u201c101.5 Lite FM\u201d WLYF Miami has announced a new weekday lineup following the retirement of longtime South Florida radio personality Gayle Garton.<\/p>\n
Ashley O. is named Music Director and midday host, while Jess Bonilla will host afternoons.<\/p>\n
The changes follow Garton\u2019s retirement after 34 years with the station. Garton was a longtime on-air personality who also served as Music Director and Assistant Brand Manager, becoming a prominent voice for South Florida listeners.<\/p>\n
\u201cGayle\u2019s impact goes far beyond the music she played or the hours she spent behind the microphone,\u201d said Michelle Stevens, Brand Manager. \u201cGayle helped define what Lite means to South Florida, she\u2019s our Matriarch and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has given our listeners, our station and our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stevens said the station intends to build on Garton\u2019s legacy while bringing Ashley O. and Bonilla to the \u201cLite Team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashley O. previously hosted mornings on Audacy\u2019s \u201c104.3 The Shark\u201d WSFS Miami and has held on-air and production roles at Cox Media Group\u2019s crosstown soft AC \u201cEasy 93.1\u201d WFEZ and hot AC \u201cHits 97.3\u201d WFLC. She also continues to host for Audacy\u2019s LGBTQ+ network Channel Q, a role she began in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited to host middays on Lite,\u201d Ashley O. said. \u201cI grew up listening to Gayle, and am honored they are passing the baton to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonilla began her radio career in Detroit in 2000, initially working in promotions. She joined Audacy Orlando in 2002 and has held multiple positions with the company, including on-air host and Promotions Assistant.<\/p>\n
Bonilla will continue hosting middays on Audacy hot AC \u201cMix 105.1\u201d WOMX-FM in Orlando while adding afternoon drive duties at \u201c101.5 Lite FM\u201d in Miami.<\/p>\n
