CHR: WNOU/Indianapolis
PD Chris Edge
|
|
|
The South Hadley, Massachusetts
native has worked at some of the most respected radio stations in the business. Beginning in Hartford at
WKSS, moving on to WDCG in Raleigh and now putting roots down in Indianapolis at
WNOU, where he has spent the last two years. Not bad for a guy who never was a radio junkie and “just fell into the business.”

ROCK: Q&A with
WMMR/Philly Morning Hosts Preston & Steve
|
|
|
After a
tumultuous end to their successful tenure at then cross-town
Modern Rocker WPLY/Y100 and a brief and
contested non-compete sitout, Preston Elliot and Steve
Morrison crossed the street to Greater Media
Mainstream Rocker WMMR, and the rest is truly
Philly radio history. Since their arrival, ratings in
mornings (18-24 and 25-54) have soared to Stern
proportions. We tap into the guys and get up-to-speed on
the current state of the show - one that’s been named
best local morning show in the country in FMQB’s
Year End Leaders Poll the last two years and in two
different formats. [more]

RHYTHM CROSSOVER: KDGS/Wichita PD Greg “The
Hitman” Williams
|
|
|
Greg "The Hitman"
Williams has spent most of his broadcasting
career in Wichita where he served as MD at Mainstream
Top 40 KKRD for 14 years. But then
he was hired by Entercom to be PD of KDGS
in May 2000. In less than six months, he beat his
old station and KDGS became the No. 1 18-to-34
station in the market while putting the heritage
station out of business. The Hitman has since
become the target of new competition, but this
is one man who enjoys the battle while maintaining an
incredible passion for the business. [more]
