Montgomery shared, “I have been extremely blessed to spend my whole adult life getting to do what I dreamed of as a kid: Be the guy who picks the songs on the radio and entertains listeners every day,” Montgomery said. “From my first overnight shift at WJPD in Ishpeming, Michigan, I knew the Country Radio was the avenue I wanted to pursue. Being a part of Country Music going to great heights throughout my career has been a great thrill. I am fortunate.”
Townsquare Media SVP/Content & Programming Kurt Johnson commented, “Doug is second to none. He’s been an influential programmer for decades, and we’ve been very fortunate to have him lead our Country team for eight years. His impact in building Townsquare Country’s success will leave a legacy. We’ll miss him a lot, but we’re happy for him at the same time.”
