A voice that was familiar to many listeners in Chattanooga for years, WSKZ KZ-106 Midday Host and Assistant Program Director Kelly McCoy died Tuesday at the age of 58.

McCoy’s 35-year career in the Scenic City began at Chattanooga’s first NewsRadio station, WZRA, before moving to WGOW-AM as Programming Secretary then on-air host at the Top 40 music station, to classic rock WFXS, and then to classic rock KZ-106 where she became the area’s #1 midday radio host for two decades, according to the station.

McCoy was deeply involved in the community, and was a strong advocate for animals. Her Pet Project found homes for hundreds of dogs through the Humane Educational Society.

Memorial contributions may be made in Kelly McCoy’s name to the Humane Educational Society.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Two Chilhowee Middle School students were placed under house arrest by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly planning acts of violence against students and school personnel, according to an announcement by the Polk County School District.

In a posting on social media, James R. Jones, director of schools, said CMS students reported the information to school officials Monday morning.

He said the students are now under house arrest, and the investigation is ongoing.

Jones said the students were “never on campus with any weapon, and they never posed an actual threat to any student.”
