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.
