Lil G |
Lil G is going home. One of Savannah ’s
favorite radio broadcasters is leaving Hip Hop WEAS E93 FM and Urban
contemporary WTYB 103.9 FM Magic for a move to Atlanta to accept a promotion, according to savannahnow.com.
“I’ll be working for the Cumulus Broadcasting corporate
headquarters in Atlanta ,” says Lil G, whose real
name is Gerald Arrington Jr. “I came to Savannah
from Atlanta specifically to go to Savannah State .”
After Lil G got involved with the Savannah State
University radio station,
local gospel singer and broadcaster Lester Leck White introduced him to Cumulus
Broadcasting.
“He allowed me to come in and do an internship on his show,”
Lil G says.
“That’s how I got started here in Savannah . Who would know 10 to 15 years
later, I would be his boss?
“I graduated in 2001 with a degree in mass communications,”
he says. “I was working for Cumulus while I was in school, and after I
graduated, they sent me to Houston .”
A year later, the station’s format was switched from rhythm
and blues and hip hop to oldies.
“From Houston , they allowed
me to come to Savannah
with a pay raise,” he says. That was 15 years ago.
