RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, January 6, 2022 |
Premiere Networks names veteran Country radio programmer and air personality Anthony "AntMan" Allen as Executive Producer of "After MidNite with Granger Smith," effective immediately. Based in Austin, TX, AntMan will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Country music program, including managing guest appearances and performances, integration of brand partnerships, identifying growth opportunities and driving engagement across multiple platforms.
"To say I'm honored that Jennifer Leimgruber and Rod Phillips have asked me to come on board with After MidNite would be an understatement," said AntMan. "This show is legendary, and to be trusted with helping guide this venture is humbling. Granger is one of the most genuine people I've ever come across. I have the honor of calling him a great friend, and who doesn't want to work with their friends? I'm excited to dive in."
"We couldn't be happier to welcome AntMan to the Premiere Networks and After MidNite family," added Premiere Networks Executive Vice President of Entertainment Programming Jennifer Leimgruber. "Over the years, AntMan has worked with Granger on several projects and we're confident his decades-long experience in Country radio makes him the perfect choice to successfully lead this exciting new chapter of After MidNite."
AntMan continues to host the podcast "Picture This! with The Antman," and has programmed several Country stations in the past 23 years, most recently iHeartMedia's KASE 101 and 98.1 KVET in Austin, TX. In July, 2021, he partnered with Granger Smith to launch Yee Yee Radio, a new online radio station. Prior to that, he served as the assistant Program Director and Music Director for KNIX in Phoenix. He joined the Country station in 2013 after working as Assistant PD and afternoon air personality at iHeartMedia Nashville's The BIG 98.
AntMan's background also includes programming duties at iHeartMedia's 102.1 The Bull in Wichita, KS, and the syndicated "Country House Party" weekend program.
