CC's Vaughn Packing Up, Heading To Atlanta


The day after flipping WKLS-FM Atlanta to CHR, Clear Channel  Media+Entertainment has named Rich Vaughn Program Director for Power 96.1.  Vaughn will also oversee sister-station Rhythmic-CHR WWVA-FM / Wild 105.7 and WWLG/ Wild 96.7, a simulcast.

Vaughn exits WKSC-FM / 103.5 KISS FM, effective immediately.

In a statement this afternoon, Operations Manager Brian Michel said: "We are putting our unmatched leverage, creativity, and resources into creating not just a great cluster of stations, but one that consistently wins. To be able to do that, we are assembling the best team to carry out the mission here. I am proud to have Rick Vaughn -- one of the most respected programmers in the country and a true Top 40 specialist -- take the reigns as PD for both the new Power 96.1 and our Rhythmic Top 40 product, Wild 105.7 & 96.7".

Under Vaughn's leadership, WKSC-FM  has weathered the loss of an extremely popular morning show personality soon after his arrival. For the past two ratings periods, 103.5 Kiss FM has been at the top of the ratings, coming in at #2 in both 6+ ratings and the 25-54 demographic in the June period. In the July period, WKSC-FM became #1 in the 25-54 demographic. More importantly, the station has been #1 in its target demographic of Persons 18-34, most recently with a whopping 9.0 share.

A search is underway for a replacement.
