Mr. Huggins worked for Star City owners Mike Reed and Bill Christian at their WPDE in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 8 years, becoming WPDE's GM. In addition to being the GM of radio and TV stations, Mr. Huggins will also be the corporate Director of Sales for Waypoint Media, the management group that operates Star City Broadcasting and other broadcasting entities.
