SoCal Sound Elevates Slater To MD
• Congrats to Julie Slater, midday talent at non-comm Triple A KCSN/KSBR (88.5-FM, The SoCal Sound)/Los Angeles who has been promoted to Music Director. She assumes the MD duties most recently held by Andy Chanley, who was recently named MD and afternoon talent at Audacy Triple A WXRT/Chicago.
In making the announcement of Slater’s elevation, PD Mark “Mookie” Kaczor said, “We didn’t have to look far to find the best candidate for the music director position. Julie is one of the most passionate broadcasters and music fans I know.” GM Patrick Osburn agreed, noting, “From New York to LA, Julie Slater has continued to demonstrate she has great chops in front of and behind the mic. She will be a great music director.”
Slater has been doing middays on 88.5 since March 2022. She previously did afternoons on the late, great KSWD (100.3 The Sound)/Los Angeles and famously followed Howard Stern at the late WXRK (92.3 K-Rock)/New York for nearly a decade before moving to Los Angeles in 2006 to work for SiriusXM.
“I feel like everything has come full circle for me, and I am in my total dream job,” said Slater. “Being on air, discovering new music and giving a voice to the LA music scene is what I live for. I am so proud of where Patrick Osburn and ‘Mookie’ Kaczor have taken the station, and I am grateful to be a bigger part of its expanding future.” She added, “I also can’t wait to get my pretty little paws on that ‘add’ button.” More details are posted here.
