Former KNX, Los Angeles Reporter Rob Archer Joins “95.5 WSB”
Cox Media Group’s news/talk WSB-AM/WSBB-FM, Atlanta “95.5 WSB” is bringing radio news pro Rob Archer aboard as anchor/reporter. Archer, formerly with Audacy all-news KNX, Los Angeles, begins his new role in September. He posted the following to his blog Archer’s Line: “I’ve written before about how I
thought my time at KNX would be the capper of my on-air career — that I’d retire from there, as so many other great broadcast journalists had. But it was not to be. I got caught in the churn of staff reductions in June 2025. I stayed busy over the next year. I focused on Archer’s Line and co-hosted podcasts with Jack Messenger and my KNX colleague Charles Feldman. I started a voiceover business and anchored for Remote News Service, providing local newscasts for small- and medium-market stations across the country. I applied for as many radio jobs as I could. But given the state of an industry that was letting far more people go than it was taking on, I didn’t have a lot of hope. But life, like Loki, loves messing with your plans. I awoke one morning to a message about an opportunity — and I grabbed it. I have accepted an anchor/reporter position at 95.5 WSB Atlanta. I’ll be working with my old KNX boss, Ken Charles, beginning next month. See his post to Archer’s Line here.
