Cumulus Media's Westwood One elevates two key execs in its 24-Hour Formats division. George King (pictured) rises to VP/General Manager from VP/Programming for Country. He'll oversee all programming and affiliate management for the company's 24-Hour Formats, with a focus on growth in new markets. Additionally, 24-Hour format veteran Eric Sundstrom is named VP/Affiliate Sales moving up from from Regional Affiliate Manager.

"George is both a gifted, experienced programmer and a big strategic thinker, and he'll bring both skills to bear with our customers at 24-Hour Formats," commented Westwood One President of Programming Kirk Stirland.. "Very few people understand the local radio marketplace like Eric, which makes him a smart choice for this leadership role. With George and Eric at the helm, we'll continue to bring high-quality radio to the traditional 24-hour format marketplace, as well make an impact in larger markets that require different features and qualities."

Before joining Westwood One in 2014, King was Regional Operations Manager for Townsquare in Ft. Collins, CO. He also held programming and operations roles for Cox and Clear Channel in San Antonio and at WMZQ/Washington DC. Sundstrom has been in affiliate management at Westwood One for more than 20 years. He also served in program management positions in local radio, including at KRST-FM, KRZY and KKOB-FM in Albuquerque.
