How The Wes Was Won:
Radio vet Wes Adams will join Urban Radio Broadcasting's WLAY/Muscle Shoals, AL next week as PD/afternoon personality. "This is a reunion of sorts as Wes and I worked together for a number of years both at the Cromwell Radio Group and at NextMedia Broadcasting," says Regional Dir./Programming Brian Rickman. "In fact, over the years I've attempted to recruit him at various other stops in the industry but the timing was just never right." Adams' prior stops include stations in Chicago, Greenville, NC, Valparaiso, IN and Decatur, IL. He replaces the late Kevin Whorton, who passed away in August. Reach Adams here.
