AllAccess.com is reporting that Danny Wright is out as Creative Director at Star 94 due to budget cuts.
Wright did a great job with Star's imaging. I got the impression he's a sincere and nice person. Once when I complimented Star's imaging in a Radio-Info post, Wright emailed through the site to thank me. And I've had some other email correspondence with him, and he was always cordial.
Wright has a long all-star resume, including such legendary CHR's as 92 PRO-FM in Providence and WNCI in Columbus, which of course means he might have a challenging job search in the current economic environment. He was hired at Star by Dan Bowen.
With Star 94's imaging scaled back, I guess it's kind of redundant to have both a Production Director and Imaging Director. No one has told me, but I'm guessing Production Director Doug Miller will assume Wright's imaging duties. Before joining Star, Miller was Imaging Director at KMXV in Kansas City, a station where (now Star 94 PD) JR Ammons later became PD. Miller worked with Ammons at Star before Ammons left for KC, and I don't know whether Miller had any role in KMXV's selecting JR.
