Cumulus Media's Classic Hits KCMO-FM/Kansas City was named Station of the Year at the annual KC Media Mix Awards on Thursday, September 22. Also honored was KCMO morning host Kelly Urich, who received the KC Media Mix Award for Personality of the Year, and Cumulus Kansas City's Teresa Stanton received the KC Media Mix Award for Account Executive of the Year.
The annual awards are presented by Media Mix, a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting and supporting advertising and media professionals in the Greater Kansas City community. Honorees are nominated by those in media and voted on by members of the organization. The awards were presented at the KC Media Mix Banquet at The Guild in Kansas City.
Urich has spent much of 30+ years in radio giving back to the Kansas City community. An avid cyclist, he biked 1,200 miles from Phoenix to Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City to raise money for Children's Mercy Hospital. This year marks his 22nd year to ride in the MS 150, generating thousands of dollars in donations in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis.
Stanton brings over 30 years' experience in media sales to her role as Senior Account Executive. She began her sales career in 1986 at KKJO-FM in St. Joseph, MO, and went on to hold sales executive positions at KQTV in St. Joseph, KPRS-FM in Kansas City, and at Carter Broadcast Group, where she was co-National Sales Manager. She joined Cumulus Kansas City in 2019.
Cumulus Kansas City Regional Vice President/Market Manager Donna Baker said, "94.9 KCMO is the soundtrack of Kansas City. Congratulations to Jim Fox, Operations Manager and our passionate and incredibly talented team."
