WUNC Music Adds Two Hosts

• WUNC Music, the streaming Music Discovery radio station produced by NPR-affiliated News/Talk WUNC-FM/Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC has added two new on-air hosts to its schedule: Alan Thompson, a.k.a. DJ Who4thecru (left), will be heard on WUNC Music Saturdays and Sundays from noon-6pm. Thompson comes from WNCU/Durham, where he hosts the popular Morning Jazz show. He’s also a fixture in the Durham and greater Triangle music scene as a member of the jazz/hip hop/indie group ZOOCRU.

Susan Castle (right), has also joined the WUNC Music team to do 2-8 pm Wednesday through Friday. Castle is the longtime morning host on public Music Discovery station KUTX/Austin, and was previously on-air at KGSR/Austin. Thompson and Castle join host Cindy Howes, who is heard 8am-2pm weekdays on WUNC Music.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have both Alan and Susan on the WUNC Music team,” said MD Brian Burns. “I’ve been a fan of Alan’s Morning Jazz show for years, and Susan brings so much knowledge and experience to our young station.” WUNC Music is consulted by Mike Henry of Paragon Media Strategies in Denver.
