Now we know why Alpha Media needed to name two new Music Directors for Country “98.7 The Bull” KUPL and CHR “Live 95.5” KBFF Portland.
Brian “B-Dub” Washington is exiting his position as APD/MD of those stations and Afternoon host at KUPL to head to CBS Country 107.9 KMLE Phoenix for those same APD/MD/Afternoon duties. Prior to joining KUPL, Washington worked mainly in CHR including afternoons at “Q102” WIOQ Philadelphia and nights at “103.7 Kiss-FM” WXSS Milwaukee.
B-Dub fills the afternoon vacancy at KMLE created by Chris Matthews’ move to mornings.
Bryan “B-Dub” Washington is appointed Assistant Program Director, Music Director and afternoon host of Country KMLE-FM (The New KMLE @ 107.9)/Phoenix. Washington will be heard weekdays from 2-6pm beginning February 1 and replaces Chris Matthews, who moves to mornings. Washington most recently served as Assistant PD/MD at Country KUPL-FM/Portland, Oregon, as well as the host of syndicated “Buckwild Saturday Night” show.
“B-Dub is a remarkable on-air talent and programmer,” said CBS Radio/Phoenix VP/Programming Tim Richards. “His obvious love for radio makes him a fantastic fit for KMLE. We are looking forward to creating radio magic with B-Dub on the team.”
“I am thrilled to get the opportunity to join the KMLE Nation, and work with Tim Richards and the entire crew at CBS Radio Phoenix,” added Washington. “I’m ready to learn, grow and have fun making great radio.”
Washington’s previous stops also include weekend host at WRDW-FM/Philadelphia, afternoon host at WIOQ-FM/Philadelphia and night host at WXSS-FM/Milwaukee.
