After the announcement of Bob McLain stepping down from his longtime hosting role, Entercom Greenville has selected veteran host Charlie James to take over the afternoon drive slot.
“The Charlie James Show” will air from 3-7 p.m. on 106.3 WORD (WYRD-FM) and can be heard online on the RADIO.COM app. James has more than three decades of broadcasting experience with numerous awards to back it up including three South Carolina Broadcasters (SCBA) Star Awards for Radio Show of the Year, The Academy of Country Music (ACM) Award for Radio Personality of the Year, as well as two Marconi Award nominations.
James joins the Entercom Greenville team after hosting on Charleston’s WTMA News Talk.
“Charlie is a well-respected and seasoned talk show host and his track record of success in South Carolina with his award-winning program makes him a perfect fit for 106.3 WORD,” said Steve Sinicropi, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Greenville-Spartanburg. “Charlie’s experience informing and entertaining listeners through his style, knowledge, and influential opinions on topics that matter most will be a welcomed addition to our station’s programming and will build on the afternoon audience that has been well-served by Bob McLain.”
“To be asked to follow a legend like Bob McLain is quite humbling,” said James. “I am so honored and excited at this opportunity to join such a dynamic station like WORD and look forward to talking with the great people of the upstate. Let’s talk!”
James also hosts The Charlie James Show podcast and does voiceover work.
