Neal Sharpe Returns To WLNK/Charlotte

• Who says you can’t go home again? After 12 years away, Radio One proudly announces the return of Neal Sharpe to the PD chair at Hot AC WLNK (Mix 107.9)/Charlotte.

Sharpe recently resigned as OM/PD of Saga’s seven-station group in Asheville, NC after a decade of service. Before that he programmed Clear Channel Classic Hits WJGH (Magic 107.3) and Fox Sports affiliate WFXJ/Jacksonville, coming off a ten-year run as PD of WLNK (then 107.9 The Link) under Greater Media. Sharpe earlier programmed WNCI/Columbus, OH, but we first met him in the early ’90s when he worked at the legendary JET-FM/Erie, PA.

In making the announcement, Radio One Charlotte RVP Marsha Landess stated, “With the launch of Mix 107.9 last April, we knew we needed a strong leader with experience, fun and creative ideas, a commitment to community service and the drive to increase our listener engagement both on-air and online. Neal has been living in Charlotte, knows the market, has experience with our team and is the perfect choice to take us to the next level.”

Sharpe remarked, “I’m excited to return to WLNK and work with the great Radio One Charlotte team that’s just loaded with talent. It’s a special station with an incredible history, that is ready for its next chapter of super-serving our listeners and advertisers with entertainment, information, and results. A huge thank you to Marsha Landess, Terry Foxx and Radio One for their support and this incredible opportunity.”
