Nearly two weeks ago, OMW mentioned that Infinity hot AC WQAL/104.1 "Q104" Cleveland afternoon driver Brian "Fig" Figula was heading out, destined for a programming gig in another market.
His destination is now public, as AllAccess reports that Fig is heading back to the hometown station where he started as an intern over 10 years ago - Cumulus CHR station WWCK "CK 105.5" in Flint, Michigan. He'll not only take the programming reins, but will also be heard on the air in afternoon drive, starting next Wednesday.
