“In this industry, it is very unusual,” he said. “People tend to move around.”
Chase, 54, came to WSKZ-FM 106.5 from Evansville, Ind., to be the afternoon disc jockey and program director. He’s added operations manager to his title, and he now does a morning show. The station was a rock-based Top 40 station then and is a classic-rock station now.
