New Sheriff @ B93.9/Raleigh

• iHeartMedia makes it official and upgrades MD/midday talent Carson Blackley to the PD chair at Country WNCB (B93.9)/Raleigh. The position has been technically vacant since Carletta Blake transferred to the PD post at sister 99.5 WGAR/Cleveland in April 2019.

Ms. Blackley’s well deserved promotion is the culmination of a journey that began right across the hall at Top 40 sister WDCG (G105) in early 2013, where she got her foot in the door as an intern with former morning host Bob Dumas and The Showgram. Blackley eventually worked her way up to afternoon drive on G105 where she ruled until October 2014, when she was awarded a transfer to the MD/midday post at Country cousin WPGB (Big 104.7)/Pittsburgh. Three years later, Blackley was offered the opportunity to transfer back to Raleigh, this time as MD/middays on B93.9…. and the rest is history.

“We are very proud of all the success we’re experiencing at B93.9,” said Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia EVP of Country Programming Strategy. “Carson Blackley as been a major piece of that success in Raleigh for years. She’s been leading the way for our team and was the obvious choice for Program Director, working with our SVPP, Trevor Morini to further grow the brand.”
