LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) – General Manager Marty Schack announced this week that KSSN 96 personality Ashley King will join THV11 as co-host of an all-new show hitting the station’s lineup, “The Vine.”
In addition to her new role at THV11, King will also remain the midday host at KSSN 96. The Clinton, Ark. native is a graduate of Arkansas State University where she earned a degree in Broadcast News. Her father and sister are both in radio; King said broadcast is just “in her blood.”

“The Vine,” a one-hour lifestyle show, is set to air weekdays at 9 a.m. The show, which will often feature live music and unique and local storytelling, will also be an interactive and conversation-based program full of engaging interviews with local businesses and nonprofits.
