Cadillac Jack

Former WKHX Atlanta morning host Cadillac Jack is returning to radio two years after Kicks 101.5 cut him.  Starting Monday, he'll  hosting afternoons on country station WEKS 92.5 FM The Bear, which is owned by the Georgia Radio Alliance.

According to Rodney Ho at ajc.com, Caddy will be replacing veteran country music jock and programmer Steve Mitchell, who will work behind the scenes on improving the imaging of the station while hosting a weekend show.

Cadillac Jack, whose real name is William Choate, said in a press release while he was off air, “I’ve binged Netflix. Not just a particular show but all of Netflix. I have mastered the complexities of the washer and dryer and I’ve learned to become a better dad, husband and friend. It’s time to plug back in and reconnect with country music fans in Atlanta.”

He added: “I’ve seen the battle plans. I am beyond hungry and I can’t wait to fire the first shot on Monday.”

Caddy filed a lawsuit against Shannon and Atlanta-based Cumulus for wrongful termination, believing his high salary and sexual orientation made him a target.

Kevin Steele, vice president of programming, noted that he used to work with Caddy at Kicks and believes in his passion for country music.

Caddy has been doing a podcast the past two years with his wife Donna and will continue to do so called “Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.”
