In 2008 he made the jump to the label side and, after nearly 10 years on the road with RCA, Stream- sound and Black River doing West Coast promotion, he returned to the station as PD in May (CAT 5/2).

Understandably, there’s a high degree of familiarity, most of it welcome. MD/morning show co-host Jody Jo is still there. Her co-host Gnarley Charley also remains, though he was in nights a decade ago. “The GM, sales man- ager and regional sales manager are also still Steve Pleshe here,” says Pleshe. “The craziest thing for me is that the equipment in the studio is all the same,” he adds. “When the station was built in 1997, it was all cutting edge. Now we’re about to get all new gear.

Last month, Scott joined Myers in mornings at WWYZ. As for the club, it’s now called Cadillac Ranch. And, yes, they play country. Cory Myers Chemistry Lab: With their history, Scott and Myers have an obvious chemistry that may actually be combustible. “I have a couple of working titles for this story,” jokes Scott. “’The Future of Country Music’ or ‘Two Mete- ors Collide.’” With that, he and Myers are off My Guy: The Curb crew celebrates Dylan Scott’s first No. 1 “My to the races, finishing each other’s sentences Girl” today in Nashville.
