WBVX-FM (Classic Rock 92.1)/Lexington, KY, appoints Dennis "Deadair" Dillon as Program Director and afternoon personality. Before joining the LM Communications Classic Rock outlet, Dillon's programming stints included WLRS-FM and WSFR-FM in Louisville and WKQQ-FM and WXSS-FM in Lexington, KY. He's also worked at stations in Chattanooga, TN and Cincinnati. Dillon is a two-time winner of the Lexington Music Awards' DJ of the year in 2016 and 2020.

LM Communications President/Owner Lynn Martin said, "Classic Rock 92.1 is now home to one of Lexington's very own legends of rock. We are pleased to welcome Dennis Dillon, who has a long history of presenting the very best classic rock music and now can present it to the best classic rock audience in Lexington. By introducing 'Deadair' Dennis to our locally owned and operated radio group, we once again show that being a local voice rather than just a cog in a national wheel let's us provide something truly unique to the classic rock audience in Lexington.

Dillon added, "In a time when big corporations are moving away from local DJ's in the community, I'm ecstatic to have found a home in the city I love with a locally owned and operated company LM Communications. I've always loved this genre and I'm already discovering that the Classic Rock 92.1 fans share that same passion."
