Urban AC station Star 99.7 (WXST) Charleston, S.C., has hired Karen Vaughn to take over the new night show. The former APD/midday host at Hot 105 (WHQT) Miami departed the Cox urban AC station last year as a result of cutbacks. She can be heard weeknights from 7-10 p.m. Vaughn also blogs at her workingdiva-blogspot. ...isn't it great to report a hiring in urban radio at this time?
