Pros In Motion
• iHeartMedia Alternative KYSR (ALT 98.7)/Los Angeles recently added the considerable talents of Hudson Hott to its weekend lineup — she’s currently contributing to the 1-4pm Sunday shift on ALT 98.7 via the magic of voicetracking from Hawaii, where her fulltime gig is co-hosting the Hudson & Scotty B morning show on Alternative sister KUCD (Star 101.9)/Honolulu. PD Mike Kaplan describes Ms. Hott as “a total pro.”
• Justin Luvv just landed in Indianapolis as the new afternoon personality and Imaging Director for Cumulus Rhythmic AC WRWM (93.9 The Beat). Luvv spent the past 11 years with Radio One in Columbus, OH, where he was on-air, Imaging Coordinator, and Mix DJ for WCKX (Power 107.5) and WBMO (Boom 106.3).
Jay Michaels, PD of The Beat said, “Justin’s on-air skills and amazing imaging expertise make him stand out from the crowd. I’m really excited to have him on board as we take 93.9 The Beat full-throttle into 2017! Get ready Naptown — you’re about to #LuvvIt!” Luvv succeeds Zakk Babb, who left last October to do nights on WSTR (Star 94.1)/Atlanta.
