iHeartMedia has tabbed Eric ‘E’ White as Program Director of Alternative “106.5 The End” WEND Salisbury/Charlotte, Classic Rock “99.7 The Fox” WRFX-FM Kannapolis/Charlotte, and Classic Rock 100.7 WRDU Wake Forest/Raleigh NC.
The move marks a return to the company where White has spent his entire career most recently hosting mornings at CHR 97.1 KZHT Salt Lake City from July 2023 until exiting in a round of layoffs last November. He began his career with the company as an intern in Philadelphia before moving to CHR “107.5 Kiss-FM” KKDM Des Moines as Music/Imaging Director and afternoon host in November 2017 and then spent three years hosting nights at CHR 101.3 KDWB Minneapolis prior to Salt Lake City.
White shared, “Hyped is an understatement. Getting to work in the genres that I love and made me who I am is wild and I can’t wait to see what the Carolinas got to offer. I’ll be back on the air soon, I just gotta remember how to do my job first.”
In a press statement, White added, “This is a dream opportunity that I still have to pinch myself about. It feels incredible to be back at iHeart, especially in a beautiful place like the Carolinas, working with the formats I love. From the on-air lineup to the management crew, this is a super team, and I’m excited to help take us to the next level. Let’s get to work!”
iHeart Charlotte & Raleigh SVP/Programming Trevor Morini said, “We searched nationwide to fill this vital role. Eric’s fresh ideas and passion for the formats were immediately evident, and I’m excited for the next chapter for these heritage brands with Eric at the helm!”
White fills the opening created by Chris Crowley’s exit from the company in February.
