RADIO ONLINE | Monday, March 19, 2018 |
Cumulus Media has appointed veteran programmer Brian Thomas as Program Director of Kicks 101.5/WKHX-FM/Atlanta. Thomas was most recently with Cumulus Media-Chicago where he served as Program Director for WLS-FM. Thomas also serves Cumulus as a member of the Corporate Programming Team for the Country format, and is Vice President, Programming, Classic Hits.
Previously, Thomas was Program Director for Cumulus Media's Country station in New York City, NASH FM 94.7/WNSH-FM. Prior to joining Cumulus, he was National Vice President of Classic Hits programming for CBS Radio. He was also Program Director of Country WQYK-FM and Classic Hits WRBQ-FM, and Vice President, Programming for CBS Radio in Tampa.
"I am thrilled to have Brian join our team," said Sean Shannon, VP/MM Cumulus Media-Atlanta. "His knowledge and his passion for Country is contagious. I can't wait to see what he can do with this legendary brand."
Louie Diaz, Operations Manager, Cumulus Media-Atlanta, said, "It's an exciting time for us, and Kicks 101.5. Atlanta is ready for Brian. Time to turn it up!"
"It was always my dream to program WLS-FM in Chicago, but I started in Country and everyone knows I love it," said Thomas. "And although I am Corporate Program Director for Country at Cumulus, it's not the same as having a Country station down the hall. I'm beyond thrilled that Sean Shannon, Mike McVay and Charlie Cook have confidence in me to program KICKS, one of America's leading Country stations. And looking forward to working with Louie Diaz and the team at Cumulus Atlanta!
