Boston Hearts Mikey, Lance & Pup Dawg

Busy day around the radio ranch at iHeartMedia Boston, as the company made multiple announcements — the action starts with the news of swell new agreements forged with WXKS (Kiss 108) night jock “Mikey V” Vinci, WBWL (101.7 The Bull) PD Lance Houston and WJMN (Jam’n 94-5) APD/MD DJ Pup Dawg. In addition to his extended deal, Vinci (left) has also been rewarded with sweet new APD/MD stripes. “I look forward to taking on my new role and continuing to work with the extremely talented people at Kiss 108,” Vinci said. “iHeartMedia Boston is a dream workplace for this kid from Framingham.”

Mikey then handed the pen over to Houston, who also inked a new long-term deal to remain in place as PD and evening personality for 101.7 The Bull. “Horns up, Boston!” said Houston (center), who has been on the job there since August 2014. “I’m very lucky to call the best city in America my home and am so thrilled that I get to continue to build the Bull brand alongside the talented team we have here at iHeartMedia Boston.”

DJ Pup Dawg (right) is also pleased to be sticking around as APD/MD and night jock for Jam’n 94-5, as he commented, “I am Jam’n through and through and thrilled to be with Jam’n 94-5 for the foreseeable future. Jam’n is known for playing Boston’s biggest Hip Hop songs that our listeners want to hear and I can’t wait to continue that tradition with the best team in the business.”

Surveying his talented team and beaming like the proud papa, Dylan Sprague, SVP of Programing for iHeartMedia’s Boston Region commented, “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to continue to work with Mikey V, Lance and DJ Pup Dawg. These guys know this city and know these stations. Having these critical programming roles locked in long-term gives us a big competitive advantage as we strategize for our future.”
