Cumulus Flips WOMG/Columbia SC to Classic Hits
RADIO ONLINE | Friday, July 1, 2016 |
Cumulus Media flips Country WOMG-FM (NASH Icon 98.5)/Columbia, SC, to "Columbia's Classic Hits 98.5 WOMG." Benji Norton will join 98.5 WOMG as host of the "Breakfast With Benji" morning show, airing from 6-9am ET weekdays, beginning Monday, July 11. Norton has anchored the morning show on co-owned Sports WNKT-FM (1075 The Game) for the past nine years.
WOMG Operations Manager Brent Johnson said, "From 1989 to 2014, the call letters WOMG have been synonymous with Classic Hit music. In 2016, we are so excited to bring WOMG back and play the music our listeners have been begging us to play. So many of these songs and artists have not been played in Columbia in years."
Cumulus Media/Columbia VP/Market Manager Rick Prusator said, "Benji Norton is a household name in Columbia radio. After nine years of anchoring the morning show on our sports station, 1075 The Game, Benji moves back to the music he played the first time around. And he is thrilled to get to do it again. Also, the return of 'Breakfast With Benji' is proof of the commitment of Cumulus Media in Columbia to live and local radio."
