Robby & Rochelle Land At TVC

• Veteran programmer/air personality Robby Bridges and his equally talented wife Rochelle Gagnon are on the move back to Michigan, hired by MacDonald Garber Top 40 WKHQ (106 KHQ) in beautiful Traverse City — Bridges is the new PD, Gagnon will serve as Promotions Director, and the couple will also host the Robby & Rochelle morning show, as previously enjoyed on WDVD/Detroit and WSHK/Portsmouth, NH. They will also launch a podcast.

Bridges was most recently Operations Manager for Townsquare Media’s Portsmouth, NH cluster. He previously spent 11 years with Cumulus Media and Westwood One, the last two as Director of FM Programming for Hot AC WDVD, Country WDRQ (NASH FM 93.1) and Classic Country NASH Icon 93.1-HD2/Detroit. Bridges earlier programmed sister WEBE 108/Bridgeport, CT and WFAS-FM/Westchester, NY. He will continue his voiceover work and guest hosting on Scott Shannon‘s syndicated True Oldies Channel.

Gagnon has worked in marketing and promotions both in and outside of radio and has held on-air roles at Lakes Media and Cumulus. She also spent two years as Associate Producer of the syndicated Mojo in the Morning, based at iHeartMedia’s WKQI (Channel 955)/Detroit.

Bridges and Gagnon make their TVC debut on March 30. Looking ahead, Bridges said, “We’d like to thank Trish and Peter Garber, Diane Hansell and Gary Berkowitz for this awesome opportunity to join their team to create big, fun, live and local radio in one of America’s premiere vacation cities! Whether it was close to my family in New England or Rochelle’s in ‘Pure Michigan,’ we were looking for that special situation to make a difference and to work with Gary and be a part of the tradition of excellence at MG Broadcasting is nothing short of that! Let’s go!”
