Al Payne Named Program Director at 96.3 WHUR

Al Payne is named PD of Howard University urban AC 96.3 WHUR-FM (Washington, D.C.) Payne joins the station from Cumulus Media urban AC “Magic 107.3” (KMJK) Kansas City, where he also served as PD before exiting last week.

“Al Payne is an innovative force in the radio industry and I am absolutely thrilled to welcome him to WHUR,” GM Sean Plater said in a release. “Al has the energy, experience, passion and creativity needed to lead our programming team with a fresh perspective for the future.”


“Growing up as an I-95 ‘radio kid,’ there were a few iconic stations that you could only dream of one day having the opportunity to program and influence," Payne said. "96.3 WHUR is at the pinnacle of my personal list and to say that this is a blessing is a huge understatement.

"I look forward to working with the incredible GM, Sean Plater, to help this amazing team of world class broadcasters continue to entertain and serve the DMV under the umbrella of Howard University.”
