Pros In Motion
• The powers-that-be at Radio One Top 40 KROI (Radio Now 92.1)/Houston were very busy behind the scenes over the long holiday weekend, locking down two new personalities — Laura “On Air Laura” Dickerson, former morning show co-host/co-producer on Riviera Broadcasting Hot AC KMVA (Hot 97.5/103.9)/Phoenix is now doing afternoon drive, followed by Amir Diamond from 7-midnight. Diamond crosses the hall from late nights on sister KBXX (97.9 The Box). Solidifying this new line-up, MD DJ Riddler winds down from his former marathon noon-6pm shift and is now doing the more civilized 10am-2pm show.
