‘Slow Jams’ Breaks 200-Affiliate Barrier
• Benztown proudly announced that the internationally syndicated hit weekend radio show Sunday Night Slow Jams just reached a major broadcast milestone — its 200th affiliate — with the addition of Entercom Rhythmic Top 40 KQKS (KS107.5)/Denver. Slow Jams‘ Creator, Host & Producer, R Dub! is pictured here (center), celebrating in person with KQKS Brand Manager Victor Starr and MD/afternoon personality Toshamakia. Check out the 200th Affiliate video.
But wait! There’s more! Sunday Night Slow Jams also picked up three other new affiliates: Entercom Rhythmic Oldies KRBQ (Q102.1)/San Francisco (Throwback edition), Entercom Hot AC WHMX (Mix 105.1)/Madison, WI (Hot AC edition), and Alpha Media Hot AC WHBC (Mix 94.1)/Akron, OH (Hot AC edition).
R Dub! said: “I was just a kid who loved listening to Slow Jams and dedications shows on the radio. I was elated when I got my own radio show at 16 years old — never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would one day be heard across America. And while I searched for something profound to say for this special occasion, I just kept coming back to ‘thanks.’ That’s all I really want to communicate: a very heartfelt thank you to the program directors who believe in me and the stellar team at Benztown and Compass Media for helping me execute this vision. But most importantly, thanks to my listeners who show up every Sunday night to experience and engage in the magic of a very special radio show.”
Dave “Chachi” Denes, Benztown President, said, “It’s been an honor and a career highlight being able to work alongside R Dub! and watch him reach this incredible milestone. You can hear the passion and enthusiasm he has for this medium we all love so dearly in every Sunday Night Slow Jams show and that’s why I believe he’s loved by listeners and programmers around the globe. Congratulations, R Dub!, Mark Wilson and to the Benztown and Fusion Radio Networks teams!”
