Cox Media Group Atlanta has named Chris Centore as Assistant Program Director for WALR, WSB-FM and WSRV. Centore will also host the afternoon drive on WSB B98.5 FM, weekdays from 2 to 7 p.m.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the broadcasting space, Centore has worked with several high-profile and top-rated stations in major markets, including Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. He started his career at WHOB in New Hampshire before being recruited to Richmond, Virginia to help launch the market’s first-ever alternative rock station, WDYL. He’s also worked with WFNX and WBQB before joining the WSB team in April 2019.

“I am excited for this new opportunity with B98.5 and to work alongside Chris Eagan and the CMGA team. I look forward to being part of our listeners’ afternoon commute and to help our radio stations continue to deliver the best, most compelling on-air content in Atlanta.”
