DJ Amen Upped To APD At REAL 92.3/LA
• iHeartMedia’s KRRL (REAL 92.3)/Los Angeles has promoted DJ Amen to Assistant Program Director, effective immediately. Amen, who was most recently Music Director for REAL 92.3, will succeed DJ A-OH as APD — A-OH will remain in middays at REAL 92.3 and continue to oversee music decisions for the station as MD, while also serving as Program Director for WMIB (103.5 The Beat)/Miami.
“I’m excited to see DJ Amen climb the ladder from mixer to Music Director and now to Assistant Program Director,” said Doc Wynter, President Hip Hop & R&B Programming Strategy for iHeartMedia and PD of REAL 92.3. “Kudos to A-OH for bringing him to my attention and then leading the way in grooming him for this important role at REAL 92.3. We are blessed to have him on our team!”
DJ Amen began his radio career as a mixer for 106 KMEL/San Francisco for the better part of 15 years. He relocated to Los Angeles in 2015 to join the team that launched REAL 92.3, serving as a mixer and MD before taking on this new role as APD. For the last eight seasons, he has also been the in-game DJ for the San Francisco 49ers.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to continue my growth at the best Hip-Hop station in the world,” said Amen. “Being a part of the brand’s success since its earliest days continues to be one of the greatest experiences of my career. I’m very much looking forward to our bright future under the guidance of Doc Wynter and the rest of our innovative leadership team at iHeart.”
