A couple years ago, I think it might have been 2010 or so, he was hired for mornings at CBS Radio's KAMP (Amp Radio 97.1) in Los Angeles. Prior to TRL, and all that he was actually the night jock for KAMP's sister Alternative station the heritage KROQ. Daly Download is syndicated by Cumulus Media Networks.
Back in the early 2000s, when he was still hosting TRL, Premiere Radio had daily countdown show "Carson Daly's Most Requested", which was carried in Chicago on WKSC, and Wausau on WYCO (107.9)
Ryan Seacrest and Carson have something in common. They both were Los Angeles radio jocks (fulltime) before being on TV, with Seacrest as the host of American Idol (and going everywhere else after, in addition to radio) Seacrest was originally the afternoon guy on Clear Channel's KYSR (98.7) which was a Hot AC station at the time (Now Alternative)
These guys are not exactly strangers to radio.
