"It's about time. I mean, geez, I've been here six years. I should be running the whole company by now. But I guess this is better than nothing," added Webber. "I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to push these two stations to even greater success. I have lived in Portland my whole life and it's truly a dream to be able to program in the best city in the country. Thanks to Robert Dove for giving me this amazing opportunity."
