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). The cluster also includes Sports KRMD-A-K264AS (THE TICKET), Urban KMJJ, and Urban AC KVMA (MAGIC 102.9).
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.”
Former cluster OM CHIP ARLEDGE had also been handling PD duties for KRMD before departing the company in APRIL (NET NEWS 4/25).
