With a career spanning 26 years in radio, Erin Wilde has become a familiar and beloved voice in the Fort Worth area, where she’s spent the last decade lighting up the airwaves. Beyond the mic, Erin’s talents extend to television and film—most recently appearing in “God’s Here”, now streaming online.

Erin’s passion for broadcasting is matched only by her commitment to giving back. She’s deeply rooted in her community and driven by a desire to make a positive impact in people’s lives. A proud mother and joyful new grandmother—twice over in one year!—Erin holds family at the center of all she does.

In a career full of memorable moments, Erin is particularly proud of her late son Trey Cordie, a gifted program director and radio personality. Though he’s no longer with us, his legacy continues through her work and the love she shares with her audience and community.

When she’s not behind a microphone, you’ll find Erin living life to the fullest—staying active, embracing wellness, and even reviving her days as a professional cheerleader with the occasional TikTok dance. She’s also a three-time blue ribbon champion of the celebrity goat milking contest at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo—because why not?

Erin brings energy, authenticity, and heart to everything she does—and she never misses a chance to say, “How ‘bout them Cowboys?!”
