Houston Radio: KRBE Re-Signs Roula and Ryan

Raised in Houston, Christie holds a B.A. degree in Radio/Television/Film from the University of Houston.

Chase started his radio career while attending Stephen F. Austin State University, then moved to KHMX Houston and on to KRBE for four years. He was previously APD of Z100 in New York, and was morning show personality for KDGE The Edge in Dallas. He then moved to KROQ in Los Angeles for a late night hosting gig, before returning to KRBE on The Roula & Ryan Show in 2006.
