If It Ain't Brooke, Don't Fix It:
CBS Radio's KILT/Houston APD/MD/evening personality Brooke Meris has been named Mgr./Regional Promotion for Columbia. She succeeds Mark Janese, who recently exited. A 15-year radio vet, Meris joined KILT from Top 40 WZRT/Lebanon, VT (CAT 3/28/11). She'll join Columbia at the end of the month and continue to be based in Houston; until then, reach her here. KILT PD Mark Adams is now searching for Meris' replacement; airchecks and resumes here.
