Leo ‘LB’ Baldwin has exited as PD of Classic Hits “98.5 OMG” WOMG Lexington and AC “B106.7” WTCB Orangeburg in the Columbia SC market. Baldwin also anchored “The Midlands Morning Show” on WTCB.

She had been with Cumulus since 2018 after 3+ years at WYOY Jackson MS in mornings and middays and has held on-air and promotions roles in Beckley WV, Greensboro NC, Lima OH and New Zealand.
She wrote, “Yesterday, marked the end of my 8-year chapter with Cumulus Media 🥹
What an incredible journey it’s been. I’m so thankful for the friendships, the memories, the lessons, and the opportunity to wear so many hats – from promotions and programming to being on the air, engineering and even sales. To my coworkers, our listeners, clients, community partners, and everyone who supported me over the years… thank you. Thank you for believing in me, cheering me on, and making these last eight years so incredibly special. I’ll always be grateful for the experiences, the laughter, and the memories we created together. ❤️ On to the next adventure.”
Anthony ‘Big Ant’ Simmons has exited as PD/afternoon host at Hip Hop 99.7 KMJJ and PD/midday host at Country 101.1 KRMD-FM Shreveport LA.
He had been with KMJJ since 2014 and added the roles at KRMD-FM in July 2023. The Minnesota native began his career as an intern at 101.3 KDWB Minneapolis and worked on-air at 89.9 KMOJ and “B96” KTTB before an eleven year run at 103.1 WEUP Huntsville AL from 2003-14.
