Houston Chronicle
He was able to reveal a personal side to himself and that was great. Ware’s announcement creates another opportunity for Purdy to shuffle operations at KILT. Friday he dismissed the station’s longtime program director Bill Van Rysdam and now he has the opportunity to decide whether to reshuffle the station’s current lineup or to bring on another host in an effort to increase KILT’s share in the crowded Houston sports radio market. Purdy said he will speak with Ware and with the Texans about Ware’s desire to remain as part of the Texans radio broadcast team. “I know that everybody has been really pleased with Marc and Andre as the play by play combination for Texans broadcasts” he said. “He does a terrific job and hopefully there’s a way for us to continue down that line. ”Purdy also said that the station’s new program director will decide how to rearrange the talk show lineup in the wake of Ware’s impending departure.
