KBIG Names Ty Bentli For Afternoons - WKSC Seeks Afternoon Host
Via All Access - July 22, 2010 at 5:36 PM (PT)
CLEAR CHANNEL Hot AC KBIG (104.3 MYFM)/LOS ANGELES PD ANDREW JEFFRIES names CLEAR CHANNEL Top 40 WKSC (103.5 KISS-FM)/CHICAGO afternoon host TY BENTLI for afternoons beginning on MONDAY (8/9).
TY's radio career began in high school at SIOUX FALLS, SD, and his first on-air job was at KCLD/ST. CLOUD, MN. He later became APD/evening host at crosstown KKSR (KISS 96) prior to joining WKSC (103.5 KISS-FM)/CHICAGO. TY eventually went on to host shows for the MTV NETWORK.
According to KBIG PD ANDREW JEFFRIES, "Bringing TY to MYFM adds a new dimension of interactivity and freshness from a guy who really loves to be with the listeners on and off the air. TY has a strong drive with loads of energy and he has a bit of a naughty streak in him - our listeners will love that especially if you�re into FACEBOOK and TWITTER, you�ll be getting things there that can�t go on the air! I'm looking forward to him joining our team of VALENTINE, IRMA, KARI, LISA HOLLYWOOD HAMILTON, and BILLY BUSH. That�s a world class DJ lineup."
TY BENTLI commented, "I can�t wait to get to LA and interact with the amazing team that CLEAR CHANNEL has put together in the strongest radio market in the country! Plus, I�m really looking forward to all the things I will be able to learn from ANDREW JEFFRIES, assuming I can figure out what he�s saying with that accent."
TY's departure leaves a LARGE slot for someone to fill, ASAP, back in DA WINDY CITY.
The official list of requirements would choke a horse, but bottom line, you need to relate to the 18-34 female audience, be relevant, entertaining, amazing on the air, and be a whiz with NEXGEN, VOXPRO, and PRO TOOLS.
