Max Factor:
Max Media WGH/Norfolk afternoon personality “Jimmy Ray” Dunn and MD/midday host Karen West have been named PD and APD, respectively. They retain all previous duties, as well, and take over responsibilities previously handled by VP/Operations & Programming Eddie Haskell prior to his exit last month (CAT 7/25). “Seeing [Dunn and West] team up to lead 97.3 The Eagle, knowing their passion and dedication to this iconic brand, ensures the continued success of the station,” says Pres./MM Keith Barton. Dunn returned to WGH last month (CAT 7/29) for his third stint, having previously handled mornings from 1991-1994 and 1995-2015. West joined just weeks after WGH’s 1990 launch and was named to her most recent post two years ago (CAT 7/14/20). Reach Dunn here and West here.
