From Feder's column, Sept. 6:

• Jerry Riles, producer of Cliff Kelley's morning show at WVON-AM (1450), has been promoted to program director of the Midway Broadcasting African-American talk station. The appointment comes just two weeks before WVON moves up the dial to 1690 AM and expands to 24-hour broadcasting.

Riles previously was an executive producer at CBS Radio sports/talk WSCR-AM (670) and a reporter for Shadow Broadcast Services in Milwaukee.
