A familiar voice on WFMT 98.7-FM<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 weekend host and onetime program director Dennis Moore \u2014 has been named morning personality at the Window to the World Communications classical music station.<\/p>\n

Starting August 6, he\u2019ll succeed Carl Grapentine, who\u2019s retiring<\/a> from the 6-to-10 a.m. weekday \u201cMorning Program\u201d Friday after three decades at WFMT.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored and thrilled to bring new energy to a program that is so important to our listeners and to our station,\u201d Moore said in a statement Monday. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to putting my own stamp on it, and I feel privileged to be a part of such a special time of day for the WFMT audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

A longtime host and producer, Moore first joined the staff of WFMT in 1990 from WMFE in Orlando, Florida, where he had been music director. From 1997 to 2004 he served as program director of WFMT. Since 2015 he\u2019s been host and producer from 7 to 11 a.m. Saturdays and from 7 to 10 a.m. Sundays.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with Moore\u2019s promotion, WFMT has moved Maggie Clennon Reberg from Sunday nights to weekend mornings and weekday evenings. Reberg joined the station as a part-time host in 2015 after applying in an open call for talent.<\/p>\n

\u201dDennis is the ideal person to helm our \u2018Morning Program,\u2019\u201d said David Polk, program director of WFMT. \u201cI\u2019m excited to see how he will develop the show. And Maggie is a fresh and exciting new voice. I know that she and Dennis will thrive in these new roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grapentine is expected to work on special projects for WFMT, including a weekday morning feature, \u201cCarl\u2019s Almanac,\u201d starting September 3. A podcast is planned for early 2019.<\/p>\n

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey, WFMT tied for 28th in mornings with a 1.1 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 103,100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
