Joey Tack joins Country WIVK-FM in Knoxville, TN for mornings, effective July 11. The move represents a homecoming for Tack, who spent 15 years with Rhythmic CHR WKHT-FM (Hot 104.5) in Knoxville, holding on-air and Program Director positions. Tack was most recently APD and morning host at Country WLHK-FM (97.1 Hank FM) in Indianapolis, IN. Prior to that, he was PD/midday host at Country KNCI-FM in Sacramento. He was also on-air at Quad Cities, IA-IL, Country WLLR-FM and the former WHTS-FM.

Cumulus Knoxville Vice President/Market Manager Ken Salyer said, "Joey Tack will bring a fresh and innovative sound to WIVK's morning show that carries the WIVK legend forward and into the future. We think listeners will love what they hear."

Cumulus Knoxville Operations Manager Jeff Jarnigan added, "Joey is a great fit to take WIVK mornings to a new generation of Country fans. Country music is the dominant music choice in the area, and WIVK has been the market leader for more than 60 years. Joey will turn up the volume with more of what makes WIVK 'East Tennessee's Radio Station'."

WIVK Program Director Rich Bailey commented: "Joey knows our market and WIVK, and he is talented, creative and has a passion to win. He also has a relentless desire to be involved in his community and to make a real difference in people's quality of life, something that sets WIVK apart. Joey is the full package."

Tack remarked, "I couldn't be more excited to return home to East Tennessee to join the legendary WIVK and create great Country radio for WIVK's passionate morning audience. Summer is getting hotter on WIVK, starting July 11th - I can't wait to get started."

Tack currently serves the Country radio industry as Chairman of the CRS Agenda Committee for the 2023 Country Radio Seminar in Nashville.
