Tower Ticker | Christopher “Brotha’ Fred” Frederick, a fast-rising radio and TV star in Charlotte, N.C., is coming to Chicago to take over the morning slot vacated by the abrupt exit this week of Kevin “DreX” Buchar from Clear Channel’s WKSC-FM 103.5.

“Chicago morning radio is a dream,” Frederick said in announcing his move Thursday night on “Fox News Edge,” which he has co-hosted on Charlotte’s WCCB-TV in addition to his “A.M. Mayhem” morning program on Clear Channel’s WIBT-FM.

Kiss FM said Friday that Frederick will start here on Jan. 17.
