Zannie K.: Three Signals, Twin Cities

Minneapolis radio pro Zannie K. has officially returned home to the Twin Cities, hired as APD/afternoon personality at Cumulus Classic Hip Hop trimulcast WGVX-WRXP-WWWM (105 The Vibe)/Minneapolis-St. Paul. Zannie also pilots Zannie K’s Throwback Theory on Saturday nights at 10pm as well as the Sunday midday show for Westwood One’s 24/7 AC, Hot AC and Top 40 affiliates across the U.S. Zannie succeeds Tony Fly, who recently moved to Los Angeles to host Hits 1 in Hollywood with Michael Yo and recording artist Symon on SiriusXM Hits 1.

Mr. Zannie is already well versed in the unique culture of the Twin Cities — he previously spent four years at KDWB and seven years at the former KTTB (B96)/Minneapolis. He later worked at iHeartMedia Austin as APD of Top 40 KHFI (96.7 Kiss FM) and Rhythmic KPEZ (102.3 The Beat) and WPYO/Orlando. He spent the past three years as MD/night jock at Leighton Top 40 KCLD/St Cloud, MN.

Scott Jameson, Operations Manager and VP of Classic Rock for Cumulus Media said, “We’ve seen consistent growth with The Vibe, and adding Zannie to afternoon drive will no doubt sustain the positive momentum for our listeners and advertisers.” Hardly able to contain his excitement, Zannie shrieked, “I’m freaking out at the chance to work for this iconic Cumulus cluster here in the Twin Cities! I’ve been addicted to the Throwback format for years and to have this chance to return to the city I love and rock the mic for the ultimate Afternoon party is a dream!” Thanks to Scott Jameson, Shelly Wilkes and Brian Curski for your vote of confidence. And big shout to Tony Fly for the alley-oop! I’m bout to dunk on ’em, son!”
