AUDACY has named JOHN FOXX Brand Mgr./morning host for Classic Hits WCBS-F/NEW YORK following the retirement of industry veteran SCOTT SHANNON. FOXX will launch the new AM show this FEBRUARY, airing weekdays from 6a to 10a (ET). He will assume the Brand Mgr. role from JIM RYAN. 

As content lead for the station, FOXX will collaborate with RYAN, who will remain SVP/Programming for AUDACY NEW YORK and Brand Mgr. for Hot AC WNEW (NEW 102.7). FOXX will also continue as Brand Mgr. of Country WXBK-HD-2. He will report for all positions to CHRIS OLIVIERO, Market Pres. for AUDACY NEW YORK.  

FOXX most recently served as Brand Manager of Country KILT-F (100.3 THE BULL)/HOUSTON and Regional VP/Country Programming at AUDACY. He joined KILT 11 months ago (NET NEWS 1/12) after serving as Brand Mgr. for AUDACY's Country WNSH/NEW YORK until it flipped formats. A nationwide search is underway to identify his successor.

A 23-year radio veteran, FOXX has been with AUDACY since 2009, was PD and afternoon drive host at WPLJ/NEW YORK prior to WNSH. Congratulate him here.

“JOHN is a rare talent that has achieved success on and off the air in NEW YORK CITY, which makes him the perfect selection to lead the legendary WCBS-FM into its next era,” said OLIVIERO. “He is well known, respected and liked by his colleagues in our building, which will make the transition smooth and seamless. JOHN also has big feet, which will come in handy as he has some of the biggest shoes to fill in radio history both as morning host and brand manager at 101.1FM. We are excited to welcome JOHN home.” 

“I'm in love with NYC and the tri-state area, and am really excited to join the content team at the iconic WCBS-FM,” said FOXX. “Being a part of the soundtrack of what wakes up NYC every day is a dream come true.”
