Veteran programmer Mike Love will oversee the 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm syndicated daypart show currently called The Doug Banks Radio Show. Most recently, Love was Urban Sr. Director of Programming and Distribution for Cumulus. He has also programmed or been on the air at WBLS-FM, New York; WPGC-FM, Washington, DC; and KMJMFM St. Louis.
Love said, “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with AURN and build on the daypart the late Doug Banks held down for so many years. I’m assembling a solid team and it is my intent to dominate afternoons on urban adult stations.”
Recently Access.1 Communications took over full control of American Urban Radio Networks from Sheridan Broadcasting Networks. “Mike is our first hire under the new ownership” said Jerry Lopes, President of Program Operations and Affiliations. “I’ve known Mike and admired his work from afar. I am confident he will put together an entertaining and compelling show that stations will want to air.”
