Chris Ebbott will take over PD duties at the Classic Hits station in L.A. on July 16. He succeeds Rick Thomas who recently took a similar programming position with CBS New York. Since 2010, Ebbott has been programming CKFM in Toronto. Ebbott is returning to L.A. where, from 2004 to 2010, he helped launch CBS' JACK FM (KCBS) as operations manager. Prior to that Ebbott was a senior research associate at Pinnacle Media Worldwide, PD at Mix 95.7 (WMWX) in Philadelphia and KZON-FM in Phoenix, and the marketing director at KFI in Los Angeles.
CBS L.A. Market Manager Dan Kearney said, ?While we talked to many talented candidates, Chris?s track record of success with the Classic Hits format, success in developing on-air talent, and past history with our cluster made him an excellent choice. I fully expect K-EARTH to continue to grow under Chris?s leadership and vision.?
