Fox & Butler On The Loose
• Bill Fox has exited as morning host on Townsquare Media Country WOKQ/Portsmouth, NH after two years, as the station moves in that proverbial “different direction.” OM Robby Bridges confirmed Fox’s departure and tells RAMP, “We will be evaluating the show and looking at plans for it going forward. Meantime, [existing co-host] Kira Lew remains in place and Ryan Gavin (from Top 40 sister WJBQ/Portland, ME) will be guesting with her.”
Fox joined WOKQ in Feb. 2017, coming off four-plus years as morning co-host on Pamal Broadcasting AC WYJB (B95.5)/Albany, NY. Fox previously did mornings for six years at WFNK (107.5 Frank FM)/Portland ME. He’s also worked at KXOA/Sacramento, KWYE (Y101)/Fresno, KLLY/Bakersfield and WBHT/Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA. Fox is also an Air Force vet and worked for the Armed Forces Radio Network while serving for seven years.
“I love connecting with listeners on-air, in person, and online, where I am well versed in digital media,” says Fox, who is now seeking his next opportunity in Classic Hits, Classic Rock, Adult Hits, AC or Country. “I’m excited about the future, and open to all opportunities nationwide,” he adds.

• After a two-year run at Spotify, working with both Pop and Christian music genres, John Butler has exited and is seeking his next industry opportunity.
Before joining Spotify in April 2017, Butler famously spent 15 years with Curb Records in Nashville, rising to VP of Promotion. Butler’s extensive previous promo history dates back to 1990 when he was Director of National Promotion at TVT Records. He later went on to executive roles at Zomba Label Group, Arista Austin and Squint Entertainment before joining Curb in 2001.
Butler is now eager to share his extensive knowledge of streaming and promotion with his next employer. He can he reached at 615-948-0864 or jbpromodomo@gmail.com.
