‘Hitman’ & Blanco Recovering
• We join the rest of the industry in sending our most positive thoughts to Greg “Hitman” Williams, longtime PD/morning co-host at Entercom Rhythmic KDGS (Power 95.3)/Wichita, who is on the road to recovery after he was hospitalized with a serious case of bilateral pneumonia, a complication from COVID-19.
In a Monday Facebook post, Williams (left) shared some very good news, as he said, “I am happy to share with all of you that I will be going home today. I am now breathing on my own and the immediate danger of this deadly demon called COVID-19 for the moment is no more. I plan to be back on the radio with each of you again very soon. Please watch for updates on the Power 93.5 social media sites. God is good, all the time! I am a blessed man. There is not enough thanks to all of you for your love, support, and prayers. Just knowing that you guys were with me, gave me the strength to fight on.”
• On August 31, we reported that BBR Music Group’s Blanco Brown had been involved in a head-on collision near his home in Atlanta. The accomplished writer, Grammy-nominated producer and the artist behind 2019’s worldwide viral smash “The Git Up” and current hit “Just The Way” suffered significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he underwent a 12-hour surgery to address those traumas.
On Monday, BBR released this optimistic update, stating, “Brown has since relocated out of the ICU, following an additional 12-hour plus surgery and is continuing his recovery in the hospital. His team of doctors do not anticipate Brown requiring any additional surgeries and expect him to make a full recovery. Blanco, his family and his friends wish to express that they have been humbled and deeply touched by the outpouring of love from all over the world. They would like to thank everyone for their support and ask for continued prayers for Blanco during this time. Out of respect for Blanco and his family’s privacy during this difficult time, BBR Music Group/BMG asks that any inquires be directed to Jay Jones at jay@bbrmusicgroup.com.”
