A MCRFB NEWS brief: 1986
Berkowitz Transits Cap Cities Sister FM Over to AM 760 WJR
DETROIT — GARY BERKOWITZ will soon be putting all of his energies into Cap Cities/ABC News/talker/WJR Detroit. He will be leaving the operation of sister hit outlet WHYT to a yet-unamed PD. “It was a difficult decision to make,” say Berkowitz. “I love WHYT and it’s format and I’m very proud that we’ve set it up so it can run all by itself.” With regard to leaving the operations manager post at WHYT to concentrate on the same responsibility for WJR, Berkowitz says, “I will be nice to have just one job, and the WJR post will put me in a better position to get closer to a GM spot.“
In the meantime, Berkowitz will be helping WHYT’s newly named GM, John Cravens (Billboard reference below), find a suitable PD for the top 40 station. END
