Chubb Rock Replaces Tom Joyner In The Morning at Buffalo’s WUFO
Superadio President Eric Faison said, “WUFO has told us that with Tom Joyner exiting, they had a need to go in another direction than what was available in the mornings. Chubb’s connection to HBCU’s and support from Greek organizations makes him a uniquely qualified to earn Joyner’s listeners. We think that Chubb, SiMan Baby, Carol Blackmon, and KeKe Rock work harder and smarter than anybody to please their listeners. With all their collective experience, they’re still hungry and go above and beyond when it comes to showing up. This show was built for mornings and they treat stations right!”
