Cumulus is bringing a corporate PD on board for their rock stations. Do they promote from among the Top 10 markets they own? Or from their stable of long-running winning PDs in their large markets? Nope. Their candidate is Troy Hanson, who'll also program “Rock 100.5” WNNX in Atlanta.
From Tom Taylor: "Hanson left Nashville and Bud Walters’ Cromwell Group earlier this month. He first joined Cromwell Group in late 2007 as PD of rock “102.9 the Buzz” WBUZ, and had also been working with all-sports “102.5 the Game” WPRT-FM and other Cromwell interests – while handling the 10am-3pm airshift on the Buzz."
Heh. A corporate programmer with experience at WBUZ. Not the first time that's happened in WNY, eh?
