The latest round of musical chairs among Chicago’s urban radio stations played out Monday with the hiring of Tony Sculfield to host evenings at Crawford Broadcasting urban adult-contemporary WSRB FM 106.3.

Starting June 15, Sculfield will be heard from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. Until he was released last December, he had been morning personality for more than five years at iHeartMedia urban contemporary WGCI FM 107.5.

At Chicago’s R&B 106.3 FM (formerly Soul 106.3), Sculfield replaces Ramonski Luv, who was dismissed last week after six months for undisclosed personal reasons. Luv (whose real name is Ramon Wade), previously had spent 14 years at iHeartMedia stations, including WGCI and urban adult-contemporary WVAZ FM 102.7.

Sculfield, 48, a Chicago native and longtime stand-up comic, joined WGCI as a contributor to “Crazy” Howard McGee’s morning show in 2006 and later became afternoon personality. From 2009 until last year, he hosted “The Morning Riot” with Nina Chantele and Leon Rogers.

Monday’s move follows last month's talent raid by iHeartMedia, which lured midday host Frankie Robinson and afternoon host Tone Kapone (whose real name is Anthony May) from Crawford Broadcasting urban contemporary WPWX FM 92.3 to WGCI. No start date has been announced for Robinson and Kapone, who are believed to be bound by standard noncompete agreements typically in effect for three to six months.

Asked to comment on Sculfield’s hiring, Crawford Broadcasting programming consultant Tony Gray said: “I like his first name — and his commitment to serving the community.”

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey, evenings on 106.3 FM tied for 30th place with a 0.8 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 84,000.
