Darla Thomas to join WLNK as program director

Darla Thomas

Darla Thomas will be taking over as program director at WLNK-FM ("Link" 107.9) in January.

Thomas came to Charlotte in 2010 as program director and afternoon host on WLKO-FM ("Lake" 102.9) and left that job last year. Before that, she worked in Tucson, Omaha and Seattle.

She replaces Anthony Michaels, who left WLNK-FM this fall after 13 years. Her first job will be to find a new midday host to replace Kelly McKay, who is departing in December after five years to run her own business.
