R Dub! Extended For San Diego’s Pleasure
• We are sending out our love and congrats to our longtime pal R Dub!, PD of Local Media San Diego Top 40 XHTZ (Z90.3) & Rhythmic AC XHRM (Magic 92.5)/San Diego, who recently wrapped his lobster-scented mitts around a waiter’s borrowed pen and signed a sweet new, multi-year contract, extending his reign that began in April 2011. With this new agreement comes Dub!’s new title of “Supreme Commander” (no, seriously), and he will continue to oversee the programming, strategy and branding of the company’s Top 40, AC and Urban products.
Gregg Wolfson, VP/GM of Local Media San Diego, said, “We are extremely excited that R Dub! will continue to call Local Media San Diego his home. His ability to deliver relevant and compelling local radio to San Diego is nothing shy of impressive.”
Dub! retorted, “Apparently, I’m still foolin’ ’em! But seriously, I wake up every single day and pinch myself. I’m not only so fortunate to do radio in the country’s most desirable place to live, but I’m working with a company that truly believes in live, local and dynamic content! From our iconic brands and patented promotions like #EPIC48Hours, to the incredible pool of talent we have in the building — including Morton in the Morning and Jagger and Kristi — I’m so proud to play a small role in this incredible team, that is truly a family.” He added, “I’d like to thank Gregg Wolfson, consultant Tracy Johnson and Director of Operations/Programming Joe Lindsay for an amazing seven years… and here’s to mucho mas!”
The guys marked this festive occasion with a lobster lunch in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, just over the border near the stations’ Tijuana transmitters. Lindsay is unable conceal his immense pride as Wolfson dangles a celebratory wad of lobster above R Dub! as an incentive to sign the damn paperwork already.
