“It is a very special time for Tim, Claire and Karen. They have done such an amazing job in the Savannah and Hilton Head markets that they have created the next opportunity for themselves in one of the top markets in the country. What you hear (or see) is truly who they are as people. Their kindness, generosity, and community interests have really made an impact here”, says Market Manager Aaron Wilborn. “We will be sad to see them go but this has created an opportunity to find even more talented people in our industry and bring something just as special here to the area.”
With that opportunity, Dick Broadcasting Company and Bob 106.9 (WUBB-FM) is proud to announce “Hunter and Leslie in the Morning”.

“I’m so excited to make Bob 106.9 and Savannah my new home and I’m honored to work with a solid crew of people”, said Leslie.
“We’ve got big shoes to fill, but we’re up for the challenge”, said Hunter who will also serve as the station’s Program Director. “It’s a great station, in a great market and I can’t wait to get started.”
“It’s never easy to replace a show like the Morning Showgram.” They meant so much to the station and the community. So I think we all feel very lucky to have found Hunter and Leslie”, remarked Operations Manager Gabe Reynolds. “I truly believe we’ve got something special.”
