Chris Roth, Albie Dee Exit WIAD/DC
• UPDATED: RAMP has confirmed that Entercom Classic Hits WIAD (94.7 The Drive)/Washington has parted ways with PD Chris Roth and afternoon driver Albie Dee. Roth was named to the post last October, succeeding Steve Davis, who had moved back home to Richmond, VA. We understand the PD position is wide open, as Entercom DC programming honcho Chris Kinard spearheads the search for a replacement.

Before joining WIAD Roth served as VP/Business Development for Bohn Broadcasting Services and was doing weekends at Entercom AC WLIF (Today’s 101.9)/Baltimore.
