| John Hancock |
Beginning July 16, John Hancock is moving from evenings to
afternoon drive-time. He's swapping places with Brad Krantz and Britt Whitmire,
whose "Brad and Britt Show" will move to the 6 to 9 p.m. shift,
according to the Charlotte Observer.
Hancock is one of Charlotte 's
most venerable radio personalities. He arrived at WBT 1110AM/ 99.3 FM in 1990 doing mornings.
Then to afternoon drive in 1996. Then he left for an ill-fated morning stint at
WEND ("End" 106.5), returning to WBT a week before the 9/11 terrorist
attacks in 2001.
“Hancock has been a staple of WBT for years, earning him the
title of Charlotte ’s
most beloved,” Rick Feinblatt, senior vice president of WBT and Greater Media
Charlotte, said in announcing the move Tuesday.
"Hell has frozen over," said Hancock about his
return to afternoons.
WBT has been roiling through afternoon hosts since the
departure of Jason Lewis in 2006 with Jeff Katz, Tara Servatius and Vince
Coakley all taking a shot until "Brad and Britt" launched last July.
I can listen to 1110 on the way home again!
