WOOD said, "I've been fortunate to have worked with some of the biggest brands in radio and with the programmers who make those stations' successful. Over the years I have learned so much from working closely with CLEAR CHANNEL's programmers. Together we found ways to engage more listeners, more often.  After some amazing years on the road, I look forward to having a singular focus with THE BUZZ, and finding ways to make the station even more successful.  I can't even begin to express my excitement for the opportunity to work with such a strong heritage brand like The BUZZ.  This is truly an honor, and I can't wait to get to work."
