WGPR/Detroit Hires Tony Rankin For APD/Afternoons
INTERNATIONAL FREE AND ACCEPTED MODERN MASONS Urban WGPR (107.5 FM)/DETROIT has landed TONY RANKIN for APD/PM drive. Most recently he was PD/middays at WQHH (POWER 96.5)/LANSING, MI.
RANKIN told SAM WEAVER, “I’m happy to be returning to work at WGPR. This station has always been dear to my heart, and I’m back in the city I love, DETROIT. I’m excited for the opportunity to work under the leadership of Program Director CAROLYN JOHNSON-JAMES.”
“I wish all the best to the station I just left in LANSING. Working at WQHH gave me my first opportunity to program a Mainstream Hip-Hop station. I want to thank station owner KENNETH H. MACDONALD for believing in my programming abilities. I also want to thank station consultant TONY GRAY for recommending me for that position.”
“From top to bottom, you couldn’t ask for a more supportive group of people: MS. CINDY TUCK, President of MACDONALD BROADCASTING, OM SCOTT LOOMIS, and Promotions Director GENESIS TERRELL. It’s rare these days to have a chance to work with a full air staff plus weekends. I’m going to miss the people in that building.”
