Atlanta is the epicenter for culture and I’m excited to  jump in and get to work. I want to thank Tim Davies and Derek Harper for their guidance  and look forward to working closely with them both. I also want to thank Colby Colb, Vice President of Programming, Urban One for his vision and for providing me the  opportunity to charter a new chapter in my career.” Urban One Atlanta Operations Director, Derek Harper said, “Devin’s reputation in the  industry for being a smart, aggressive programmer made him our #1 choice out of a  very talented pool of candidates.

We look forward to shaking up the market and  delivering the best entertainment experience for fans of HOT 107.9. ”  “We just signed one of the best coaches in the country,” said Tim Davies, Regional Vice  President/General Manager.
