Stewart, Vogel Exit Alpha Media Canton
• There has been a disturbance in the programming force at Alpha Media in Canton, OH, as RAMP has confirmed the departure of John Stewart as OM/Content Director and afternoon personality at Hot AC WHBC (Mix 94.1) and OM of News-Talk WHBC-AM after nearly six years. No replacement has been named.
RAMP has also confirmed that Mix 94.1 MD and morning personality Kathy Vogel, a 10-year station vet, was also terminated after her show on Thursday.
Stewart was hired by former owner NextMedia in January 2013 after a decade as PD across the street at DA Peterson Top 40 WDJQ (Q92). His earlier programming/production/on-air resume includes stops at WXRC/Charlotte, WBTT/Dayton and WSSR, WMTX & WSUN/Tampa. He was also instrumental in the launch of Top 40 KBKS (106.1 Kiss FM)/Seattle back in 1996.
Stewart is now seeking his next programming opportunity and can be reached at 330-242-1387 or johnstewartradio@gmail.com. Kathy Vogel can be contacted at 330-510-1459 or Kathy@hausofv.com.
