From R&R:
After being heard as a “Guest DJ” on Clear Channel KHHT (Hot 92.3)/Los Angeles since May, Al B. Sure! has been officially named the midday personality. The 9 a.m.-noon shift was previously filled with just music.
Al B. Sure! is best known as a platinum-selling R&B singer, but has previous experience in radio. “The Hot 92.3 building is full of dedicated professionals that truly love and understand the unique music we play,” says Al B. Sure! “It’s no wonder Hot 92.3 is one of the most listened to stations in Southern California. I am not just another artist that wants to be on the radio. I am a professional with great respect for the radio business and industry, and know how to survive the ride. My radio career began seven years ago in the Bay Area at 98.1 KISS FM with a show called ‘The Secret Garden,’ and now I am ready to do it B-I-G in L.A.!”
“To say I am thrilled to have Al B. Sure! on the air here at Hot would be an understatement,” says PD R-Dub. “Al was a major force in R&B music in the eighties and nineties -- an era that makes up a big portion of the music we play at Hot 92.3, and he continues to blaze new trails in the R&B world. It’s exciting to see how the listeners react to Al on the air. So many people grew up listening to his music (Al B. Sure! released three albums between 1988 and 992), and the chance to hear him live on the air every day is pretty special. He’s a wonderful and welcome addition to our talent line-up, and will be a tremendous asset to the Hot 92.3 vision.”
