| JR Schumann |
He starts April 7.
Schumann, who joins the stations from the Program Director post at WWKA in Orlando, has programmed for Cox Radio Group in Birmingham and Orlando. Schumann will report to Dan Bennett, Vice President/Market Manager of Cumulus Media Dallas-Fort Worth. The KSCS Program Director position has been unoccupied for more than a year. KSCS Assistant Program Director, Chris Huff will remain with the station.
John Dickey, Cumulus Executive Vice President & Co-Chief Operating Officer, said: “JR is a talented and experienced Country program director, and is a natural fit for Cumulus’ industry-leading country music stations. We are very pleased to welcome him to the company, and he is a tremendous addition to our two outstanding Dallas Country stations, KPLX 99.5 The Wolf and New Country 96.3 KSCS. We look forward to seeing the stations thrive under his leadership as Operations Manager.”
Bennett said: “Our Country stations are a critical part of our success in Dallas and JR’s successful track record gives us an opportunity to elevate our stations to an even higher level of performance in creating Country programming that our listeners and advertisers love.”
Schumann leaves with WWKA/K92 at the top of the Orlando ratings:
Schumann said: “I’m very excited to be joining the Cumulus team and being a part of two legendary stations in the largest Country market in the U.S.! Cumulus is setting a new standard for the best in Country programming and I’m thrilled to be a part of that. I want to thank everyone at Cox for the opportunity to work with a great station in Orlando, but when Mike McVay called with this tremendous offer—and in my hometown, no less—I couldn’t pass it up. I look forward to working with the team to continue bringing the best in Country programming to a market that loves its Country radio!”.
