"Jason's boundless energy and local connection to the D.C. market made him a strong candidate early in the search process," said Entercom Washington DC Senior VP/Market Manager Phil Zachary "Once we had the opportunity to meet and discuss his innovative ideas, there was no doubt that Jason was ideally suited to host mornings on The Drive."

"I couldn't be more excited to reunite with Steve Davis [Vice President of Programming, Entercom Washington D.C.] and the entire team at Entercom Washington DC," added Kidd. "Special thanks to Phil Zachary, Bob Philips [Chief Revenue Officer and Regional President, Entercom] and Pat Paxton [President of Programming, Entercom] for this amazing opportunity to make the move across town and to be back home at Entercom Washington DC."
