Cumulus Media promotes Country radio veteran Deidre Ransdell to Program Director of WLXX-FM (NASH FM 92.9)/Lexington-Fayette, KY. She's been a Lexington Country radio fixture for 18 years following a 15-year career in education. She joined WLXX's Bandy and Bailey and the B-Team Morning Show in 2001 and in 2012, took afternoon and midday posts at the station. In 2018, Ransdell added overnights at WSM-FM/Nashville and in Westwood One markets across the U.S.

Cumulus Lexington General Manager Scott Frazier said, "Having Deidre Ransdell as WLXX Program Director is like naming Justin Verlander as your Starter in Game 1 of the World Series. She brings talent, experience, drive and the 'Will To Win' to the station. I'm very much looking forward to working with her."

Operations Manager Anthony "Twitch" Longo added, "It's a great day when we get to promote someone as talented and hardworking as Deidre. She is a force to be reckoned with, and to say that I am excited to have her at the helm of NASH FM 92.9 is an understatement."

"I have learned from some of the best in the business: Michael Bandy, Jason Bailey, Keith Yarber, Doug Hamand, Barry Fox, Dale O'Brien, Bob Raleigh, Charlie Cook and the current leadership at Cumulus Lexington Scott Frazier and Anthony "Twitch" Longo. I look forward to the challenges ahead and am driven to make the turn for WLXX in a run for the top," commented Ransdell.
