Power/Columbus Inks Henry For Middays
• Urban One Urban simulcast WCKX/WHTD (Power 107.5/106.3)/Columbus, OH welcomes company veteran Leah Henry for middays, starting Monday, March 20.
Henry is a native of Austin, TX and a graduate of Howard University, where she got her radio start at 96.3 WHUR as an intern and correspondent for HU’s News Service. In 2017 she joined Radio One, DC as a part-time personality at WKYS, Executive Producer for the Quicksilva Show, and a digital content creator. Henry has also worked as a producer for WJLA-TV/Washington for Good Morning Live and Let’s Talk DC and has served as a contributor for Symone Sanders on MSNBC, FOX 5 DC, and FOX Soul. Henry is also the force behind Leah’s Lemonade, a digital entertainment report that has been featured on TMZ, Yahoo, Real Housewives of Potomac, and E! News.
“While the search was tough, we are very fortunate to have found someone who exhibits passion and drive for the business which equally matches her top-notch experience and expertise,” said Chris Harris, PD of Power 107.5/106.3/Columbus and sister WIZF (101.1 The Wiz)/Cincinnati. “In addition, her extensive background in television, news, digital platforms, and radio makes her the perfect choice to bring Middays in Columbus to the next level.”
Henry commented, “I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to join such a talented team in the radio industry. I’m excited to learn, grow, and pack up the Lemonade stand and bring it to Columbus! I’m humbled by this new chapter in my career and look forward to making an impact in this new role.”
Harris replaces former WCKX midday personality Marc “DJ Nailz” Dixon, who late last year was tapped as co-host of the company’s syndicated The Amanda Seales Show.
