"I am fortunate to have already worked with PAUL in the past and love his collaborative management style. PAUL knows NEW ORLEANS, BATON ROUGE, and the GULF SOUTH and loves the area! ALT 92.3 is simply on fire in the ratings, and I’m confident PAUL will simply enhance its performance."

CANNELL said, "How often does this happen? A chance to go home to your favorite city and program not one, but two incredible radio stations?!? I can't wait to work with PAT GALLOWAY again - I know we're going to have a great time shaking up radio in NEW ORLEANS, BATON ROUGE, and the GULF COAST! Many thanks to PAT, TROY HANSON, DOUG HAMAND, MIKE MCVAY, and all at CUMULUS MEDIA for this amazing opportunity!"
