Robb Rose is officially hired to replace Cara Carriveau, who was recently upped to afternoon drive. Rose segues from the state capital of Springfield, IL, where he was Operations Director of Saga's six-station cluster and morning personality on Country WLFZ (101.9 The Wolf). As WILV PD Marty Bender stated in a staff memo, "You might recognize Robb's name and voice already. He has actually been a weekend personality at WILV off and on since 2009." Bender added, "We set the bar pretty high with this particular hire. We were looking for someone with an overall great radio background and had on-air experience in all the key dayparts. Thus, [Robb] will be handling all the key weekday fulltime fill-ins." Rose is actually filling in this week on afternoons for the vacationing Carriveau and will assume his new 7-midnight shift next week.
