Leslie Whittle, Vice President, Hot AC, Cumulus Media, and Program Director, 104.1 KRBE-FM, said: “Each day our listeners wake up to laughter, will learn something, and could shed a tear or two, but one thing you can count on is that Roula, Ryan, Eric and Special K are never boring. They have experienced many personal milestones the past 13 years, which I’ve been proud to witness. The Roula and Ryan Show has also celebrated our beloved city’s accomplishments and milestones, and has gotten Houston through some tragedies as well. I’m honored to be able to work with this great team for another 5 years!”
