Jay Stevens, Sr. VP Programming Announces
Radio One
Programming Reorganization
I am very excited to announce an important and impactful reorganization of the programming departments in Washington and Baltimore that willcontinue to make Radio One, Inc. dominant in both markets.
First of all, Kathy Brown will return to the DC market in a full time capacity, as Operations Manager for WMMJ-FM, WPRS-FM, WOL-AM, & WYCB-AM and Program Director for WMMJ-FM & WPRS-FM. For several months Kathy has been providing management and programming oversight for Baltimore's WMMJ-FM. We thank her for her contributions to the Baltimore Market and look forward to regaining her talent and focus back in the DC Market full-time.
Secondly, Al Payne our Program Director for WKYS, Washington for the past year and a half, will be moving to our Baltimore cluster as Operations Manager and Program Director over WWIN-FM and WERQ. Al has been with our company for several years serving as Operations Manager in Richmond and Detroit before coming here to DC. We look forward to him bringing his PPM expertise to Baltimore where effective in September, Baltimore will be currency.
And Neke Howse Program Director and long time air personality for WERQ, Baltimore will be moving down I-95 to be the Program Director for WKYS. Neke has proven herself to be a strong Program Director with number one ratings in Baltimore and we expect that she will continue the 18-34 ratings dominance on WKYS in DC.
These moves were a strategic business decision to strengthen our stations and put these strong Programmers in the best positions to help them and the company grow.
I want to thank Michele Williams, VP/GM DC Market, Howard Mazer, VP/GM Baltimore Market, Bruce Demps, RVP and President-Radio Division, Barry Mayo for their insight and help to makethis plan come to fruition.
