Cumulus Country 95.5 WFMS Indianapolis has appointed Jack Shell as its new afternoon host.

Shell most recently was working fill-in/swing at Entercom AC “101.5 Lite-FM” WLYF Miami and previously did middays at CBS Radio Country 99.5 WYCD Detroit. Shell also spent a decade with Cumulus Nashville including time as night host as 97.1 WRQQ, Creative Director at 95.5 WSM-FM, and afternoon host at 103.3 WKDF. He has also worked in his native Peoria, Tampa, Louisville, and Mobile during his career.

Chris Randolph had been hired in September to fill this afternoon position, but quickly had to return to Louisville for family purposes.

Cumulus Media announces that it has appointed Jack Shell as Afternoon Drive On-Air Personality for Country radio station 95.5 WFMS-FM in Indianapolis. Shell hits the WFMS-FM airwaves on Tuesday, December 26, 2017, from 2pm-7pm. He joins Cumulus Media-Indianapolis from Country station WYCD-FM in Detroit, where he was Midday On-Air Personality.

Tom Stemlar, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Indianapolis, said: “Jack’s a star and we’re excited to add even more top talent to WFMS and Cumulus Indianapolis.“
  
Stephen Giuttari, Operations Manager, Cumulus Media-Indianapolis, and Program Director, WFMS-FM, said: “Jack is one of the premiere talents in America. His passion for the area, for Country and for connecting with listeners makes him a perfect fit to join the WFMS Team and the Country Battle here in Indy.”

Shell said: “I am beyond grateful to Stephen Giuttari, Doug Hamand, Mike McVay, and most of all my very PATIENT agent, Jim Robinson, for working together to allow this Illini the chance to return home to my beloved Midwest and wave the checkered flag each afternoon for Hoosiers on the great 95.5 WFMS. I have loved Indianapolis all my life, and I look forward to planting roots here, playing here and most of all winning here. Let’s DO this!”
