WBAL Hires Merrie Street as News Director.

Miller resigned last month and Street starts August 29th according to an e-mail sent to staff by WBAL GM Ed Kiernan. Kiernan also announced that Dave Hill is the new PD for the station. Here is the e-mail Kiernan sent to his staff.

Merrie brings a wealth of experience.  Her resume includes:  Communications/Media Specialist, Communications Director, Congressional Press Secretary and Adjunct Professor.  Most importantly, she was Metro Network?s first Baltimore News Chief, News Director/Public Affairs Director/Anchor for WLIF and News Director/Reporter/Anchor for WPOC.  She was RTNDA?s ?Outstanding News Operations? winner during her tenure at WPOC.
After careful review of 1090AM/WBAL Radio?s long-term objectives and goals, Dave Hill has accepted the opportunity to be the Program Director of 1090AM/WBAL, in addition to his duties at 98 Rock.  Hearst Radio has one Engineering Director, one Marketing/Promotions Director, one Traffic Director, one Sales Director, one Digital Czar and now we have one Program Director (oh?btw, we have one GM).
Dave has a nine year history of success with Hearst Radio.  It?s a well deserved promotion for an outstanding executive and a terrific guy.
