Carrie Evans - Weekday Middays

• Contact

Believe it or not Carrie Evans began her career in radio in 2004 when WRNR ran a promotion looking for locals, interested in music to join their growing team. At the time the life-long Marylander was raising two young daughters, singing in a local band and waiting tables at Killarney House. She hoped her degree in English Literature from Maryland University might eventually get some use but in the meantime the idea of working at a local radio station she admired and listened to regularly seemed like a lot of fun. She joined the eclectic and passionate crew at RNR in 2004 as a part-time, fill-in host, familiar with the local music scene. In 2008 she was hired full-time to host evenings and assist with production. In 2013 she moved to mid-days and took on the title of Assistant Production Director and in 2015 Carrie was named Assistant Program Director and Music Director at WRNR. Carrie finally left the RNR nest in 2019 when she was hired at WTMD Baltimore to host afternoon drive. She quickly worked her way up the ladder being named Assistant Program Director in 2020. She took on the role of Interim Program Director in 2021 and was officially named Program Director in 2022. Carrie was able to guide listeners and the staff through the tumultuous years of the pandemic while simultaneously growing the stations' ratings and listening audience. She is especially proud to have helped put on some of the most memorable and well attended free concerts in the station's history.

Over the years Carrie sat down with Robert Smith, Jack Johnson, Sean Lennon and Hozier but still considers her most important interview to be with Maryland's own Maggie Rogers. Carrie's affection for and pride in Maryland is what she considers her best asset for the job. Like so many people in her generation, Carrie was faced with a crossroads when it became apparent after her father's passing in 2023 that her mother needed help. Carrie decided to hang up the headphones and take on the role of a full-time caregiver.

She returns to the airwaves on the station where it all began, WRNR, to host the Mid-Day RNR Cafe from Noon-2pm!
