Charleston Gets Schock Treatment
• LM Communications is excited to announce that — fresh from lockdown — radio vet Bryan Schock has been coaxed back out into the blinding light of day and back into the day-to-day as the newly named Operations Manager for LM’s Charleston, South Carolina properties and Brand Manager for both Active Rock WYBB (98 Rock) and Triple A WCOO (105.5 The Bridge), along with an airshift TBA.
Schock arrives as Chili Walker returns to his former LM Communications home and retakes the reins of the legendary WKLC (Rock 105)/Charleston-Huntington, WV. LM President & CEO Lynn Martin said, “We needed to find the right programmer/on-air talent to fill Chili Walker’s shoes, someone who really understands any Rock format. After looking into Bryan’s extensive background in Rock radio combined with several in-depth conversations, it was very clear to me that he was our guy!”
Schock said, “I received a call from a friend who told me that my utopia awaited. I called Lynn Martin immediately to inquire about the opportunity. As soon as I heard that the formats were Active Rock and Triple A all I could think was that this is my wheelhouse! Combine that with a company that is just the right size, focused local and run by Lynn Martin, a man with a true passion for radio and BOOM… pinch me, I must be dreaming!”
For the past two years Schock has been back in his hometown of San Diego playing the role of utility jock with Entercom Alternative KBZT (Alt 94.9), Adult Hits KXSN (Sunny 98.1), AC KYXY and Country KSON. His extensive programming and on-air resume includes Alternative XTRA (91X), Classic Rock KGB-FM & Triple A KPRI/San Diego, Rocker KNAC/Los Angeles, Triple A WRXP/New York, Triple A KFOG & Classic Rock KSAN (107.7 The Bone)/San Francisco as well as Adult Hits KJAC (Jack-FM) and Triple A KCUV/Denver.
Hang on, Schock’s still talking… “I’m excited beyond words to be given the opportunity to program two legendary Charleston radio stations. After these past few months of lockdown, I am revved up and ready to go!” Schock’s first day is Monday, July 6.
