Cumulus Media has announced that it has appointed Nick Draeger as Creative Imaging Director for Chicago Rock WKQX 101.1 FM.

Draeger joins Cumulus from Entercom-Sacramento, where he imaged Entercom’s various Rock formats, including KKDO (ALT 94.7). His career also includes imaging work for GrooveWorx, Apple Music and Magic Broadcasting in Los Angeles.

Troy Hanson, WKQX Program Director/Vice President, Operations, Cumulus Media-Chicago and Vice President, Programming, Rock, Cumulus Media, said: “We talked with many strong candidates, but we kept coming back to Nick’s excellent grasp of cut-through messaging for the brands he’s worked on. Nick will work with our voiceover pros Dan Stone and Wendy K. Gray to continue to deliver the top-notch writing and sonic feel of WKQX. We’re excited to have Nick on board!”

Draeger said: “Chicago. The City by the Bay. The Mile High City. City of Brotherly Love. (Geography was never my strong suit.) I’m so excited to be taking over the imaging reins for WKQX! Alternative has always been my passion, and I can’t wait to put my own stamp on this world-class radio station. Working closely with Dan Stone and Wendy K Gray, with guidance from Troy, we’ve got all of the elements we need to continue to take this thing into the stratosphere! (Insert Mike Ditka gif here).”
