CHERRY CREEK MEDIA is excited to have MICHAEL join the team.” Added CROSS, “I am so excited to be joining the CHERRY CREEK MEDIA team in WENATCHEE! My career started in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST, and I am happy to get back to the mountains creating some great radio with such fantastic brands. Who wouldn’t want to work on a Classic Rock station called 'THE QUAKE' with a signal that can be heard from SEATTLE’s suburbs nearly all the way to SPOKANE? Thanks to MARK ELLIOTT, KEVIN ANDRUS, KELLEY CHEATWOOD, LAURA GOOCH, and JONATHAN BREWSTER for this amazing opportunity!”
“I’ve spent a lot of time with MICHAEL already and not only does he bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our WENATCHEE cluster, what stood out to me was his curiosity and desire to still improve as a programmer and talent. He also has a strong desire to help others and give back to our community," said CHERRY CREEK MEDIA Group PD MARK ELLIOTT. "I’m thrilled to be working with someone of MICHAEL’s caliber.”
