Kara — who has written a bevy of Top 10 hits for artists like Kelly Clarkson, Pink, and Christina Aguilera — has inked a deal to take over the Saturday afternoon timeslot (2:00PM – 6:00PM) at the Clear Channel-owned station.

“Kara is already synonymous with music, behind the scenes writing so many hits, personallyperforming her own material on stage and of course having one of the nation’s most visible opinionson the next breakthrough acts from American Idol, putting her on the air was a logical extension of sharing her natural personality,” bsays Andrew Jeffries, 104.3 MYfm Program Director.

“Radio has been a very important part of my career. I am absolutely thrilled to be on air giving my takeon some of the great music out there through my new relationship with 104.3 MYfm.” Kara remarked in a statement this week. “I’m a big fan of the station.”
