Cumulus Appoints Chad Taylor as OM for Des Moines

RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, August 8, 2017

Cumulus Media appoints Chad Taylor as Operations Manager for its five-station group in Des Moines, IA, effective August 7. Taylor will also host afternoons on KJJY-FM (NASH Icon 92.5). He joins the company from Townsquare Media, where he was OM for its six radio outlets in St. Cloud, MN, for the past six years. He was also morning show host for Townsquare's Hot AC KMXK-FM St. Cloud. Prior to that, Taylor was OM/Program Director for Community First Broadcasting's three stations in the Iowa Great Lakes area.

Vice President/Market Manager Craig Hodgson said, "Chad is a highly regarded Operations Manager, Program Director and on-air talent, and is as active and community involved as they come. We will enjoy having him on our team and look forward to achieving great things together."

Taylor added, "I can't thank Craig Hodgson, Mike McVay and Greg Frey enough for the opportunity to bring my wife and family back home to the greater Des Moines area. My wife was born and raised in Altoona, and she's ready to enjoy all things "IOWA" again. In fact, she's already purchased a family pass to Adventureland. I'm beyond excited to work alongside the talented team at Cumulus-Des Moines, and to be a part of heritage stations KGGO and KJJY."
