RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, July 28, 2015 |
Cumulus Media names veteran programming exec Brian Thomas as Program Director of Classic Hits WLS-FM/Chicago. He'll will continue to serve Cumulus as Corporate Program Director for the Country format, and will now also oversee Classic Hits for the company. Thomas moves to Chicago from New York, where he joined Cumulus last year as Corporate Program Director and Program Director for WNSH-FM (NASH FM 94.7).
Cumulus Senior VP/Content and Programming Mike McVay said, "Brian's performance with Cumulus, and his prior experience, makes us confident that this is the right move for this station. He knows this format and how to maximize its potential."
Thomas added, "Every kid from Chicago who grew up listening to WLS-FM, as I did, dreams of working there. I'm proud that NASH-FM weekly audience hit an all-time high of almost 1.2 million and sales pacing +20% in a down market... and I'm excited to continue to work with a handful of our Country stations, too."
Prior to joining Cumulus, he was with CBS Radio as National VP/Classic Hits programming. He was also Program Director of Country WQYK-FM and Classic Hits WRBQ-FM and VP/Programming for CBS Radio/Tampa.
