Cumulus Media CHR 104.1 KRBE Houston has announced it has signed its “Roula & Ryan” morning show to a five year contract extension, while adding Executive Producer Eric Rowe’s name to the show’s title as “The Roula & Ryan Show with Eric.”
Roula Christie and Ryan Chase have been teamed together at KRBE since July 2006 after first being teamed together at “Mix 96.5” KHMX from 2003-05. Both previously worked at the station in the 1990s. Rowe has served as Executive Producer for the morning show since it came to KRBE after previously working with Christie and Chase at KHMX. The show also includes Special K and Sam.
Cumulus Media RVP Alex Cadelago said, “I’m excited for the opportunity to extend our partnership with this talented, award-winning team of radio pros. It’s satisfying to know that KRBE and “The Roula & Ryan Show with Eric” will continue entertaining Houstonians during their morning commute, as they have for the past twenty years!”
KRBE/WWWQ Atlanta Regional Content Director commented, “I’ve been honored to work with this fantastically talented group for almost twenty years and am ecstatic to look forward to (at least) another five with “The Roula and Ryan Show with Eric.” This show truly is the Heartbeat of Houston, as they prove every day. Listen once and you’ll understand what they mean to our city and what Houston means to them.”
Christie added, “We are so excited to add Eric’s name to the marquee of our show. He has earned it and deserves it! Eric Rowe is the best executive producer in radio. He is hilarious on the air and a genius behind the scenes. We are also thrilled to commit to KRBE for another five years! This will make us the longest-running morning show in the history of KRBE. It is our home, and we love that we are further cementing our bond with this city. Thanks to our Cumulus family Dave Milner, Brian Philips, Leslie Whittle, Alex Cadelago, and our agent Paul Anderson for always supporting us. A great show is made up of a great team, and ours is world class. To our audience, we are privileged to be part of your family- thanks for being part of ours!”
