URBAN ONE/RADIO ONE News-Talk WBT-A-F/CHARLOTTE has promoted reporter and host MARK GARRISON to News Director and has given Senior Reporter BRETT JENSEN his own weeknight talk show, "BREAKING WITH BRETT JENSEN," 7-8p (ET) starting JUNE 6th. GARRISON will continue to host the "CHARLOTTE AT SIX" news block 6-7p (ET). The station is also expanding its news department and will be adding a News Producer to its growing team, which has added three anchors in the last two years.

“MARK and BRETT are among the elite News professionals in the country, period,” said Regional VP/Market Manager MARSHA LANDESS. “We are thrilled that their new appointments will strengthen the best News department in CHARLOTTE.”

GARRISON said, "I love coming to work at WBT every day, working with such great broadcasters.  It's an honor to be named News Director.  We are committed to doing the absolute best for our listeners.”

“I’m excited for this new opportunity to connect with WBT’s listeners,” added JENSEN. “The new show won’t take away from my reporting duties but, instead, will allow me deliver more information than ever before. I’d like to thank MARSHA LANDESS and (PD) MIKE SCHAEFER for this new adventure in my career.”
