The hiring of veteran Top 40 DJ Rick Dees with the Old School R&B and Soul music format was seen as unusual
Rick Dees is out, and Jimmy Reyes gets the wake-up call starting 6-9 a.m. Monday (July 9) on Hot 92.3 FM (KHHT) Los Angeles. Greg Ashlock, president and market manager of the Clear Channel stations in Los Angeles, wrote in a memo, “Rick has been with us for a year and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every moment. He’s a consummate professional and we wish him the best as he pursues some national opportunities.”
Dees e-mailed, “We launched a one-year marketing campaign with my friends at Clear Channel to increase the awareness and revenue of Hot 92.3. The campaign has been a great success and we look forward to other new shows and marketing strategies with the talented team from Clear Channel in the near future. See you on the air again soon and at http://www.rick.com plus all over the world with the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and Daily DeesRadio Show. Be caller #10.” Read more at the OC Register
