Cumulus Toledo Looking for new PD and Mornings

Post by burytheneedle » Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:09 am

Two postings just went up on Indeed over the past couple weeks:

Full Job Description

Energy, enthusiasm and experience within the genre is a must. You will be responsible for all aspects of programming including music scheduling, managing on-air staff, imaging, station strategy, developing and executing revenue generating sales & programming promotions, website & social media, digital content and have a strong understanding of the core audience of an AC format.

I take it Russ is out at Q105? The other job appears to be Jeff Tuttle's old gig?

Anyone with a "strong track record" isn't going to relocate to Toledo.

Lyn Casye deserves the gig. She's earned it.

My old friend Michael Young, from my FM104 days, would be a good candidate too. Last I heard, he was MD at the former X103 in Indy. Not sure where Michael is now...or why he'd want to work for Cumulus, but he's a great guy, with ties to Toledo.

It appears that Russ is out, as his name no longer appears on either Q105.5 or XKR'S websites, as he was listed on both station's websites a few months back.

I'm glad they're trying to find a new morning host on 98.3. Jeff was great for NashIcon and it's a shame he passed so soon. I miss both Sunday Bluegrass Time and Sunday Gospel Time.

I tell people if they have a chance to leave The Toledo area to go for it.

Looks like they want 1 PD for two stations.

So, do they want somebody for XKR and Q105, or trying to delete the K100 morning team? I know a former co-worker who would be perfect for the job, except he hates Cumulus more than a root canal. Is Mrs. J. D. still the station manger for Cumuli Toledo?

These days, it's not uncommon to have 1 PD for FOUR stations.

Yes, Johny D's wife is still market manager.

I don't see K100 launching a new morning show as Cliff Smithers left the station last year and was replaced with a new guy named Marco. Marco's now paired up with Lyn.

Agreed. Would make more sense for the PD to have two stations similar in format, ie classic rock and classic hits. Not many (well)versed in CR and HAC. Almost sets one up for failure.
