On top of hosting the "HOLLYWOOD & GOUMBA JOHNNY Show, in JANUARY 2009, KTU will become the flagship station for a HAMILTON-hosted "The Remix Top 40 Countdown," which will be syndicated by UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORKS.

"I've been a big fan of HOLLYWOOD’s since I first heard him on Z100 back in the '80s," WKTU PD ROB MILLER stated: "He develops an incredible bond with our listeners because he is real and talks about everyday things that are relatable. HOLLYWOOD and GOUMBA JOHNNY keep New Yorkers smiling on their way home; their chemistry, coupled with KTU’s music, have led us to our best numbers ever in afternoon drive."

"I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to renew with the hottest station in New York; it is a new high in my career," HAMILTON said. "Plus now being able to host and share what the magic is all about here at 'KTU with our syndicated weekend mix show is going to be electrifying."
