WQHT/New York Names Dixon as Program Director
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, July 24, 2014 |
WQHT-FM (Hot 97)/New York appoints Jay Dixon as Program Director. He had served as interim PD since Ebro Darden vacated the post in March to focus on hosting "Ebro in the Morning" from 5-10am. The veteran programmer previously served as PD for Emmis co-owned Urban AC WRKS-FM (98.7 Kiss FM). Prior to Kiss, he was Cox Media Group's National Urban Format Coordinator until his position was eliminated. Dixon also served as PD of Urban AC WALR-FM (Kiss 104)/Atlanta.
"Jay's extensive knowledge of radio broadcasting and ratings, as well as his familiarity with the Emmis brand, makes him the perfect fit for WQHT," said General Manager Deon Levingston. "Over the past few months, Dixon has initiated innovative and creative ideas to the HOT 97 platform, further demonstrating his capabilities of leading and continuing to expand the global presence HOT 97 has in Hip Hop and music. We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Emmis family."
"I am excited to be back with Emmis and to continue my work with WQHT. I'd like to thank Rick Cummings, Jimmy Steele, Deon Levingston, Ebro Darden and the entire Emmis community for this opportunity. Look out of big things ahead for WQHT, Hip Hop, and New York," added Jay Dixon.
