DUDE Mornings Sounding REEL Good
• Columbia, SC-based Midlands Media Group, LLC welcomes Robb Reel as Creative Services Director for Midlands Media Group, and Brand Manager/Morning Host on WUDE (94.3 The DUDE), starting Monday, August 3
A South Carolina native who has been on the air since before he could shave, Reel has been part of seven Marconi wins, three CMA Station of the Year awards, and an ACM Station of the Year, as well as more than three dozen individual awards from state broadcasters’ associations in Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Washington, and West Virginia, where he most recently anchored Up REEL Early on WVRC Media’s WKWS (Superstar Country 96.1 KWS)/Charleston, WV, the two-time winner of the “Best Morning Show” award by the West Virginia Broadcasters Association.
Reel previously worked for Cherry Creek Media in Missoula, MT and Wenatchee, WA. His earlier Country stops include WSCH/Aurora-Cincinnati and WIKI/Madison, IN, WFMS/Indianapolis, WDWQ/Terre Haute, IN and KCLR/Columbia, MO.
“We have searched high and low for an ambassador for The DUDE, and we are thrilled to welcome Robb to the station,” said MMG President & CEO (and legendary programmer), Keith “Clark” Stover. “We have a very unique brand and highly engaging position in the market, and the missing piece was a someone to make the local human part come to life.”
“Despite all the moves and miles, South Carolina has always been my home,” Reel said. “To borrow from another native: ‘Every chance I did or didn’t take… led me here to this.’ I can’t wait to get back home to help Columbia get ‘Up REEL Early’ with The Dude.” Say howdy to Reel at TheFace4Radio@gmail.com.
