Atlanta radio veteran Chris Williams has joined Clear Channel Cincinnati as OM of the company's cluster. Williams will serve as PD of long-standing Rock station WEBN. Williams also remains Clear Channel's National Brand Coordinator for Active Rock Formats as well as the Active Rock Premium Choice PD. Williams most recently programmed Clear Channel Active Rocker WKLS/Atlanta until it flipped to Top 40.

"Chris was chosen for his programming skills and knowledge so that he can continue to evolve 102.7 WEBN as an iconic entertainment brand," stated Chuck Fredrick, President/Market Manager, CCM+E Cincinnati.

"Clear Channel Cincinnati is an amazing cluster," added Williams. "Among its top-rated stations is WEBN, a landmark rock station with a rich history. It is a privilege to have this opportunity to contribute to the cluster's legacy and to make a positive impact on the next generation of rock fans."

  1. Well, since Vicki fredericks has exited radio station kkzx, the programing just so totally sux!!!! including coast to coast am program on sister station kqnt.

    sooo ... if a person isn't listening to said stations, they will not hear commercials, & therefore not be swayed to buy said advertised products.

    oh well, missed opportunities, I guess.
