BILL White leaving WBT for WGN in Chicago

[yugoidar]

Congratulations are in order for Bill White at WBT.

A published report in Chicago states that WBT's one-time Program Director and current Operations Manager for the past 10 years is leaving for WGN in Chicago.  White replaces the controversial Kevin Metheny who was turfed late last fall when the Tribune Corp. tossed Randy Michaels and his gang out of the Executive Suite.  White takes the reins of WGN on
Valentine's Day.

Interesting to note Mr White is not the first former WBT Program Director to leave to program WGN. Mary June Rose programmed WGN in the late 90s after spending a good many years at BeeTee.

Former afternoon then morning man Spike O'Dell also worked at WBT doing mornings back in '81. I forget what year he left WBT for a station in Iowa on the way to WGN.

from what i've heard he won't be missed

from what i've heard he won't be missed

Why? Because he ran a tight ship, paid attention to details and expected people to perform as professionals? Couldn't have that, could we.

activeradioactive doesn't know what he's talking about. Bill will be missed!

I've not had the pleasure of meeting met Bill White, but his background and resume' is impressive. Knowing Tom Langmyer personally and having worked with him years ago, it's clear he knows a thing or two about programming and managing. This looks like a good combination for WGN.
