Brad Pack:
KWNR/Las Vegas morning personality Brad Booker has been named morning personality for CBS Radio's KMLE/Phoenix, succeeding Tim & Willy (CAT 7/26). Booker's first show will be Monday (9/17). "Having worked with Booker at CBS Radio's [Top 40 sister] KKHH/Houston, I witnessed first-hand his upbeat and entertaining style," says KMLE PD and VP/Country Artist Label Relations Jeff Garrison. "Listeners embraced his program and I expect nothing different here in Phoenix." Garrison also tells Country Aircheck KMLE Morning Show Executive Producer/PD Dan Persigehl, who had been handling mornings, will remain with the station. Back at KWNR, the search is on for a new morning show. Send airchecks and resumes to cluster OM Chris Pickett here. Current co-host Tracy Taylor remains solo until Booker's successor is named.
