CUMULUS/SHREVEPORT OM JAY MICHAELS adds PD duties for the company’s Country KRMD in the market. He joined CUMULUS’ Hot AC KQHN (Q97.3)/SHREVEPORT as PD/afternoon host in JANUARY, and was promoted to OM for the five-station cluster in JULY (NET NEWS 7/29).

Prior to SHREVEPORT, MICHAELS was PD at sister Classic Hits WJJK and Top 40 WYRG (ENERGY 93.9, now Rock WNDX (93.9X))/INDIANAPOLIS.

VP/Market Mgr. AARON CRISWELL said, "JAY has demonstrated a high level of focus, passion and engagement for the CUMULUS RADIO SHREVEPORT brands. I am excited he has accepted the responsibility to return KRMD-FM to the legendary ratings status it once held.”

MICHAELS, who will retain his duties at Q97.3, said, “To say that KRMD is a heritage brand is an understatement. I’m excited to work closely and hands on with our talented air staff and reclaim our position as the dominant Country leader in the marketplace.”
