Producing \u201cDance With Me\u201d will be Michael Horn, recently hired as imaging director of the station. Until December 2013, Horn spent 19 years at CBS Radio Top 40 WBBM FM 96.3<\/a> as a producer and imaging director.<\/p>\n

Since MeTV FM began in soft-launch mode February 23, initial reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Sabin.<\/p>\n

Now I can\u2019t wait to hear which song you\u2019ll be dusting off next!\u201d<\/p>\n
