Rob Morris, OM KDWB/KTLK & PD KDWB, Minneapolis

Clear Channel Radio has always prided itself in the quality of programmers across its properties. It’s a company that demands a lot from its people and expects its programmers to handle multiple tasks at multiple properties at a high level. One of its star pupils over the years has been Rob Morris. Throughout his fifteen years at KDWB, Morris has consistently kept the mainstream CHR ahead of the pack and is currently deftly guiding both KDWB and (News/Talk) KTLK-FM through these turbulent times.

CHR:
Up Close: WEZB/New Orleans Tom “Jammer” Naylor


 


Tom Naylor known to most simply as “Jammer,” is loving life on the Bayou as he oversees programming for Entercom's Top 40 WEZB (B97) in New Orleans, a city that’s finally come back to life after the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. His passion for great radio has helped to keep B97 as the market's #1 choice for "All The Hits!"

RHYTHM:
Up Close: WQHT (HOT 97)/New York PD Ebro Darden



 



No one has their finger on the pulse of Hip-Hop more than Ebro Darden. As PD of HOT 97 in New York, the city is lucky to have a programmer whose passion for the culture extends way beyond the music, and no station makes the streets come more alive out of the speakers than the station that defines Hip-Hop and R&B...HOT 97.

MODERN ROCK:
Up Close: KYSR (98.7)/Los Angeles PD Julie Pilat

 


A little under a year ago, and already APD/MD of Los Angeles CHR behemoth, KIIS, Julie Pilat took on the chore of additionally programming an upstart Alternative station KYSR (98.7) in a market awash in heritage brands, political challenges, and over ten million people – all vitally connected to the heartbeat of the entertainment capital of the world. A daunting task to say the least, but one not without its fruits and pleasures.

ROCK: 
Up Close: WFTK 96ROCK Cincinnati, PD, Michael 'Fin' Walter
 

The Cincinnati Rock radio landscape got a little more crowded in December 2007 when Cumulus Media dumped the talk format at 96.5 FM and launched 96 Rock, Cincinnati’s Pure Rock. As of the Summer ’09 Arbitron book, WFTK has risen to Top 5 Persons 18-34, ranks 2nd with Men 18-34 while the morning show ranks 1st with Men 18-34 and 3rd Persons 18-34. The last item is particularly fulfilling for PD Michael Walter since he is half of the Gamble–n–Fin morning show. FMQB caught up with Walter for a conversation on programming philosophy as this month’s Rock Cover Story.
