Kyle is from central Indiana and arrived in the Triangle in the fall of 2016. Since his arrival, he’s become a big fan of the local restaurant and brewery scene.

DOUG MILLER

Doug Miller got his start in radio while in high school at his hometown station in Missouri. His experiences have taken him all over the U.S. including Phoenix, Austin, Kansas City, and Atlanta.

When Doug was in grade school, he spent his weekly allowance buying the latest pop hits on 45 rpm records. He then spent school “snow days” playing DJ in his bedroom on the cool DJ set his parents ordered from the Sears catalog.

In his “me time,” Doug practices the Pilates method and is a certified Pilates instructor. Doug is also a “talented” musician. He performs “Phantom of the Opera” songs in the shower and frequently takes his act on the road (the Beltline) playing a wicked dashboard keyboard to songs playing on MIX 101.5.
