iHEARTMEDIA/HUNTSVILLE, AL SVP/Programming ERICH WEST will add day-to-day PD chores for Country WDRM in the cluster, effective immediately. WEST fills the vacancy created when ABBY ZELLMER left the radio business in JULY (NET NEWS 7/24). WEST retains his SVP/Programming responsibilities.

"After an extensive search, we determined that there was no one better suited for this opportunity than ERICH himself," said iHEARTMEDIA/HUNTSVILLE Market VP CARMELITA PALMER. "He has a deep understanding of WDRM, a passion for the music and station, and solid relationships within the industry. With ERICH at the helm, I’m confident that WDRM will continue to be the Country powerhouse in the HUNTSVILLE metro." WEST joined the HUNTSVILLE cluster in 2006 as OM, after previously serving as OM for iHEARTMEDIA/MACON, AL (NET NEWS 5/23/06).

"I’m excited for the chance to add more focus to such a legendary brand as WDRM," said WEST. "HUNTSVILLE is an amazing market with passionate Country fans, and the team here is incredible. We’re also fortunate to be in iHEARTMEDIA's NASHVILLE region along with some of Country radio’s best programmers, who I look forward to working with closely. Thank you to the entire iHEARTMEDIA team for affording me this opportunity." Send congrats here.
