Cumulus Media has appointed Chris Elliott as Program Director of Classic Rock “92.5 The Fox” WOFX-FM and “Cat Country 94.1” WNNF Cincinnati.
Elliott joins Cumulus from Guaranty Media Baton Rouge LA where he was Operations Manager and programmed Rock “Eagle 98.1” WDGL and Country “100.7 The Tiger” WTGE. Prior to Baton Rouge, Elliott served as OM for Manning Media in Hagerstown/Frederick MD and PD of their Hot AC “Key 103.1” WAFY, PD of Hot AC “Your 106.3” WCDA and OM of “ESPN 1300” WLXG Lexington KY, and PD of “93.1 Kiss-FM” KSII El Paso.
Cumulus Cincinnati OM Keith Mitchell commented, “After a lengthy search for this unique position, we’re excited to have Chris take on Country and Classic Rock for our cluster. His unique experience programming both formats in Baton Rouge makes him the right choice to take the helm for our stations.” VP/Market Manager Jon Laing added, “We really like Chris! He’s an astute, well-rounded programmer – just what this important role calls for.”
Elliott stated, “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the Cumulus Cincinnati team, and very excited for what’s to come on 92.5 The Fox and Cat Country 94.1. A big thank you to Jon Laing, Keith Mitchell, John Dimick, and Charlie Cook for both their vision and trust.”
Elliott succeeds Patrick Scott overseeing WNNF following his departure last May to return to Lexington KY and Steve Dent, who programmed WOFX-FM until his exit in October.
