HAMILTON – Casey Clarke will be taking over as the new program director of Hamilton-based Country 95.3, effective immediately. 
Clarke (right) will also remain at CMT, with a new title: director of music programming, responsible for our CMT Videos, music flow, and special music programming.
If that’s not enough, Clarke will also be taking on responsibility at Corus’ digital music division Max Trax as director of music development. He will be responsible for Max Trax’s music strategy with a focus on new platforms.
This is all in addition to his duties as host of CMT’s Chevy Top 20 and as a contributor to CMT Central.
Phew.
A native of Edmonton, Clarke began his broadcast career in 1990 as an overnight announcer on a hometown radio station, says his bio. From there he moved to CFOK-AM in Westlock, Alberta and then to the west coast where he was afternoon drive/morning show host at Whistler-Squamish "Mountain FM". Clarke then travelled down the road to Vancouver and joined "Country Music Radio" on The Satellite Radio Network, Canada’s only national radio network which broadcast to over 71 stations. With one final radio stop before making the leap to television, Clarke left Vancouver for the interior of BC and landed at CILK-FM in Kelowna.
In 1997 Clarke joined CMT as music director and soon earned an additional role hosting "The Screening Room", a weekly program showcasing new videos. Since joining CMT Clarke has been involved in numerous programming and production initiatives and in December 2002 was named director of programming and production.
