Veteran radio programmer Cadillac Jack McCartney is named Director of Programming at Greater Media/Boston, beginning January 7. Most recently he served as VP/Programming at Clear Channel in New York City, where he was responsible for Z100-FM, WLTW-FM, WKTU-FM, WAXQ-FM and WWPR-FM. In his new role, McCartney will oversee 96.9 FM, WMJX-FM, WKLB-FM, WBOS-FM and WROR-FM.
Cadillac Jack is no stranger to the Boston market. He spent over 20 years working in Boston radio in the 1990's and 2000's, programming both WJMN-FM (Jam'N 94.5) and WXKS-FM (Kiss 108) and overseeing the entire Clear Channel Boston cluster for a decade through 2010, the last 3 years of which he also programmed WWPR-FM (Power 105.1)/New York.
"I have been fortunate to work with many of the best programmers in our business, and Cadillac ranks at the top," said Greater Media Boston Market Manager Rob Williams. "It is Greater Media's good fortune to attract an all-star talent like Cadillac. As a program director, manager, strategic thinker, and leader, he is the best. Like Cadillac, Greater Media has a tremendous heritage of success in Boston radio and I am excited to work together on writing another great chapter."
"I'm excited that Cadillac will be joining our fantastic team of Greater Media Programmers," said Greater Media Vice President of Program Development Buzz Knight. "In our relentless pursuit of excellence we're always looking for creative and strategic brand managers and Cadillac's track record speaks for itself. He's one of the best minds in the business and I look forward to working with him to make our already strong Boston cluster even stronger."
"A month ago, I would have bet anything I'd be on my way to Rwanda right now for some gorilla tracking and a good dose of rest and relaxation," added Cadillac Jack. "Today, I'm outrageously happy that instead, I'm able to rejoin and partner with the very best manager in the radio industry, Rob Williams in Boston's newly-created Director of Programming position."
