AJG CORPORATION Active Rock WCLG/MORGANTOWN, WV has brought multiple time WEST VIRGINIA Broadcasters Association "On-Air Personality of the Year" winner BIG RIC DERUBEIS to head up mornings in addition to other programming responsibilities at the AJG RADIO cluster.
BIG RIC comes to WCLG from Active Rock WXQR (ROCK 105)/GREENVILLE/NEW BERN/JACKSONVILLE and prior to WXQR, spent 11 years in WEST VIRGINIA at Rock WHBR (103.1 THE BEAR).
RIC's new show will be called "It's Better Than Your Morning Show Show." BIG RIC said, "It's just a ridiculous name I said out loud and it made me laugh. It's not a slam at anyone at all. It's actually intended to sound like two kids fighting and one kid saying, My dad is cooler than your dad. After running it by everyone in the circle it got a lot of laughs and we decided to roll with it".
BIG RIC will be joined by two market veterans, ALEX O'NEAL and DAVE MCCLUNG who have both been on WCLG in the morning return after 12 plus years of syndication in morning drive. The show is slated to begin NOVEMBER 28th.
BIG RIC also said, "I want to thank all my radio friends for always looking out for me and helping make this possible. I am less than an hour from where I grew up in PITTSBURGH PA and I consider WEST VIRGINIA home just as much as I do PITTSBURGH. I think it's safe to stay the company and I were happy to make this work."
