Sam Sylk Returns To Cleveland

Former morning man’s new gig

By Darnella Dunham

After departing Clear Channel urban WUSL (Power 99)/Philadelphia last month, former morning show host Sam Sylk will return to Radio One urban WENZ (Z107.9)/Cleveland on Tuesday, Sept. 11, for afternoon drive. Before joining WUSL in 2006, Sylk hosted afternoons on Clear Channel urban WGCI/Chicago for four years.

“All of us at Z107.9 are delighted that we were able to secure Sam and return him to where he belongs, right here in Cleveland,” says Radio One/Cleveland VP/GM Chris Forgy. “Sam will make our entire on-air team better.”

Sylk replaces MD/afternoon personality DJ Latin Assassin, who will move to nights. Jay Fresh, who temporarily handled nights will produce the “Russ Parr Morning Show.”

<<Sam Sylk's morning show on Power 99 is finis.

Sylk, who started on urban WUSL (98.9) a year ago after a starry career in Chicago, couldn't seem to get traction here. More recently, sidekicks Q-Deezy and Erica Kane left. Sylk didn't return my calls, and station management is tight-lipped about his replacement.

In the latest Arbitron ratings, the show was a tepid tied-for-10th among listeners ages 18 to 34, lagging behind rivals The Beat 100.3 and Wired 96.5 in audience share. >>

Sounds like a ratings-based move by management
