Brian Lord and Sarah King, two of the three morning show hosts of MIX Mornings with Kyle, Bryan and Sarah on MIX 101.5-FM, are leaving the show in the coming week.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot for any bad reasons,\u201d Kyle Smelser told audience members Wednesday, July 15, in a podcast shared on social media. \u201cThere\u2019s no scandal going on behind the scenes. There are life things happening in all our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both of the departing hosts plan to spend more time with their families, they said in the podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in this room with you two for 10 years, every day for five hours,\u201d King said. \u201cIt\u2019s nuts. I saw you more this whole time than I\u2019ve seen my family. And that\u2019s true. And therein lies the rub. … I only have one son. We only have one life, and I need to prioritize my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

King, from Carolina Beach, claims she was lucky to \u201cplucked\u201d out of a wine shop where she worked and told she\u2019d make a good morning show host.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the beautiful thing about radio,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so intimate. It\u2019s just our voices wherever you are, it\u2019s in your car. There\u2019s an intimacy there, and it\u2019s just been the biggest privilege of my life to have this job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord specifically mentioned wanting to move his family back to Indiana especially after the recent death of his step-father.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur families are in Indiana,\u201d he said. \u201cThis now gives us the chance to raise our kids around their cousins. It gives us a chance to raise our kids around their grandparents whose relationship with our kids has been through FaceTime and a handful of visits every single year. This gives us an opportunity to bring a new chapter into my mom\u2019s life, so she won\u2019t have to be alone. She\u2019ll have her grandkids to help keep her fulfilled through the next chapter of her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord and Smelter previously worked together in Indiana before being brought to North Carolina in 2016 for the MIX morning program, originally called \u201cTwo Men and a Mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friday, July 17, is the final show for Lord and the final show for King is Wednesday, July 22. Smelser will remain on the show with new co-host Meghan Lamontagne, the mid-day host on MIX.<\/p>\n
