Drew Carries:
CBS Radio KMLE/Phoenix APD/MD/middayer Drew Bland has been named Dir./Branding & Programming for Cox's WWKA/Orlando, effective June 18. He succeeds JR Schumann, who joined Cumulus/Dallas earlier this year (CAT 3/27). "I'd like to thank [VP/MM] Susan Larkin and [OM] Stevie DeMann for this opportunity to lead the K92.3 brand," says Bland. "Plus, unlike Phoenix, I hear it's not such a 'dry heat' in Florida." Bland spent 10 years at CBS Radio/Phoenix, the past seven with KMLE. Congratulate him here. No word on plans for the position at KMLE.
