In the posting, CALDER commented, "Two amazing radio stations and two amazing crews. Can't wait to make some noise and have some fun up and down the I-4 corridor! Big shout to TIM CLARKE STEVE SMITH JASON MEDER JEREMY RICE KEITH LAWLESS STEVE STEWART and RICK THOMAS for believing me and making this move happen. Let's go!"

Meanwhile, OM RICK THOMAS will be leaving his post at COX/TAMPA. He told ALL ACCESS, "We have certainly grown great brands here over the past few years. WDUV is now at the top of almost every measurable ranker, MAGIC 949 rising strongly and the epic turn-around of WPOI to beat WFLZ.  I want to thanks KEITH LAWLESS and COX for the opportunity in TAMPA. It’s been a fun run.

"As far as the future, my family is first. Their patience with my 19-hour days qualifies them for sainthood. As far as the Radio side, I want to get in more in touch with what I love about this business; building brands, teaching and leading a team while maximizing all platforms available these days, digital social and broadcast, to connect with and thrill listeners! Stay tuned!"
