Pros In Motion
• Saga Classic Rock WKLH (Hometown Rock 96-5)/Milwaukee proudly declares every week is now “Shark Week,” as the station welcomes market vet Mark “The Shark” aboard to do afternoon drive. “Shark” returns to Beer City, where he made a name for himself at the late, great WQFM in the ’80s and ’90s. Shark most recently worked at WLUP (The Loop)/Chicago, preceded by several quality radio years in Pensacola, FL.
Shark remarked, “I love coming back to Milwaukee because everything is where I left it — Milwaukee County Stadium, the Whale Wall, and great bars like T.A. Verns, Sneakers and Rooters.” The newly revised WKLH weekday jock lineup begins with WKLH Mornings with Dave Luczak from 5-10am, followed by Marilynn Mee, who moved from afternoons into middays. Mark “The Shark” drives you home from 3-7pm and former midday talent Sandy Maxx is now doing 7-midnight.
• Alpha Media has appointed Mike Jenkins as Market Manager for the company’s stations in Moberly-Macon, MO — Classic Country KRES, Classic Hits KIRK (The Captain 99.9), Contemporary Christian KTCM (Glory 97), and News-Talk KWIX-FM/AM.
