Friday, April 29 will be Jason Ginty’s final day in middays at Audacy Classic Rock “Bayou 95.7” WKBU New Orleans as he prepares to move across town back to the Cumulus Media cluster as Program Director of “Alt 92.3” WZRH Laplace, Classic Country “106.1 Nash Icon” WRKN Picayune MS, and “Classic Hits 103.3” WRQQ Hammond/Baton Rouge.

Ginty joined WKBU in July 2015 after previously working for Cumulus and predecessor Citadel New Orleans from 2002 to 2014. During that time he served as morning co-host on “106.7 The End” KKND, Creative Services Director, and PD at various times of “Rock 93.7” KRDJ Lafayette, Rhythmic AC “Diva 92.3” WDVW and successor “Rock 92.3” WRKN, and Sports “106.1 The Ticket” WMTI. He also programmed Rock 99.5 WRNO-FM in the market. Ginty made the announcement on the podcast he co-hosts with “94.5 The Buzz” KTBZ-FM Houston morning host Rod Ryan, which will continue. Ginty and Ryan previously worked together at KKND and WEDG Buffalo.

Ginty fills the opening created by Brad Steiner’s move to Audacy New York as Regional Brand Manager for the Alternative format and midday host at “Alt 92.3” WNYL New York.
