Whittle will also expand her duties as Vice President of Hot AC for the company to include all of the company’s CHR stations under the new title of VP of CHR/Hot AC Formats.
Whittle has been with KRBE since 2000 starting as Assistant Program Director before rising to PD in 2006 and to her VP role in 2019 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/178921/cumulus-media-promotes-leslie-whittle-to-vp-hot-ac/). She began her career at 96.7 KHFI Austin as an intern in 1992 and would rise to Program Director before her move to Houston.
Cumulus Chief Content Officer Brian Phillips said, “Leslie Whittle has masterfully programmed 104.1 KRBE for almost two decades, and has led as VP of Hot AC Formats for six years. Everyone acknowledges that this natural expansion of her role will serve Houston and Atlanta well; two monster CHRs with dominant morning shows. Leslie?s warm and unaffected management style commands the respect of her Cumulus peers and the entire industry.?
Whittle added, “The Q997 team is incredibly talented, and the Q997 brand iconic. I’m honored to be part of building its future along with being very thankful for the support of the KRBE crew in Houston. This truly is the best of both worlds. Many thanks to Brian Philips, Melissa Forrest and Alex Cadelago for their faith in me!”
