Cumulus Media appoints Mike Duffy as Program Director for Active Rock WBSX-FM (97.9X)/Wilkes Barre-Scranton. Duffy, a seasoned broadcaster with over 20 years' radio experience in Northeast Pennsylvania, joined the company in April for 97.9X middays. In addition to his new role as Program Director, Duffy will retain his on-air hosting duties for the station. He previously worked in mornings on crosstown Classic Rock WEZX-FM (Rock 107).

Cumulus/Wilkes-Barre-Scranton VP/Market Manager Chris Kenney said, "We love having Mike here -- He has the leadership qualities and passion you look for in a PD. He brings a great vibe to the station and a positive energy that is a huge benefit to our listeners and staff."

OM Randy Savage added, "I am very excited to have Mike join the ranks of our programing team. He has demonstrated his ability to lead the 979X Team and knows how to win."

Duffy said, "I'm incredibly grateful and excited for this opportunity at 97.9X. I've been fortunate getting to spend my entire career in my hometown radio market, but now I get to program a powerhouse rock station here as well! I'm psyched to be working with Chris Kenney once again, as well as work with and learn from some brilliant programming minds in Mike McVay, Troy Hanson, and Jim Kurdziel."
