Cumulus Media appoints Sports broadcaster David Kelly as Program Director, of KCUB-AM (IWildcats Radio 1290) in Tucson. He'll also be heard on-air as afternoon host, weekdays from 4-6pm, beginning Monday, June 12. Kelly joins from KVOA-TV in Tucson, where he was a sports anchor/reporter. Prior to that, he was sports anchor/reporter for KMSB/KOLD-TV in Tucson and was a radio network anchor and play-by-play announcer with IMG College at the University of Arizona.

Cumulus Tucson Operations Manager Herb Crowe said, "I couldn't be happier to welcome David to the Cumulus family. His experience covering all of the University of Arizona athletic programs for television, combined with his years of radio experience, make him the perfect person to lead Wildcats Radio 1290."

Kelly commented, "When I came here to Tucson 15 years ago, my hope was that I'd have the chance at some point to lead coverage of the high-profile collegiate sports program at UA. The opportunity to head programming for Wildcats Radio 1290 gives me the chance to do that, as well as set the pace for delivering the best sports, news and information to our listeners in Southern Arizona."

Kelly's more than 20-year career in Sports Radio has included roles as Sports Director, play-by-play announcer, producer, and sports anchor/reporter in markets including Memphis, Cleveland and Bakersfield.
