Gelheiser Upped To MD @ WEQX

• That Sara Lee cake in the break room at Northshire Communications Alternative WEQX/Manchester, VT-Albany, NY can mean only one thing — someone just got promoted! Upon closer examination, that lucky individual is none other than midday personality Luke Gelheiser, who has been rewarded with fully functional MD stripes.

In a stirring staff memo, PD Jeff Morad said, “Luke has shown his ability to quickly learn his way around the station. Combine that with his natural talent, his knowledge and love of music, and his willingness to talk about it… we feel like we’ve got a real winner here!” Luke’s call times are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3-5pm. He can also be reached at luke@weqx.com.

Gelheiser (kitty sold separately) succeeds Kim Neaton, who, as we previously reported, stepped down from her fulltime position as MD/midday talent in June.
