Clear Channel Radio Chicago announced that nighttime personality, Special K, has been promoted to Music Director of WKSC-FM, effective Monday, May 17th. He will continue his role as DJ on the 8:00pm-Midnight weeknight shift he has held since last October.
He replaces Kenard "K2" Karter, who starts Monday as the new Assistant Program Director/Music Director at KMEL-FM in San Fransisco, CA. Karter was also the MD of Chicago's WGCI-FM. Yesterday afternoon, Clear Channel Radio Chicago announced that weekender Al B. Sylk will take on the MD duties at WGCI.
Special K, whose real name is Scott Corchin, began his on-air work on WKSC in the Fall of 2006, when the local club DJ was named one of the hosts of the weekend dance show, "Club Kiss." In his three and half years with the station, he has also done on-air fill-in work, production and promotion work. In the Fall of 2009, Special K took over the daily night shift after then nighttime jock Silly Jilly accepted a position in Houston, TX.
In his role as Music Director, he will report directly to WKSC Program Director Rick Vaughn. Vaughn said of of his new MD today, "Special K's experience and passion give 103.5 Kiss-FM an advantage no other radio station in Chicago can match."
