Bob Simpson Soon Signing Off
• Cumulus Media wanted us to let you know that Bob Simpson, longtime Production Director for the company’s Indianapolis group, announced his impending retirement. His last day in the office will be Friday, May 3, leaving him just four months shy of his 50th anniversary in the radio industry, the last 17+ with Cumulus in Indianapolis.
Chuck Fredrick, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Indianapolis commented, “Simply put, Bob is fantastic at his craft and the audio industry has him to thank for a creative and compelling job well done. Bob, I’m happy to join you on your next trip around the world as your luggage and security assistant.”
Simpson remarked, “On September 14, it will be 50 years since I first debuted in radio. I immediately mispronounced ‘Wichita.’ I mispronounce fewer words now.” He added, “Working in Indy has been a pleasure and a blessing and I’m very happy to end my career here. My thanks to this wonderful crew at Cumulus. While I will miss it, I’m ready for what the next 50 years will bring.”
Stepping up to fill Simpson’s sizeable shoes as Production Director for the six-station group is Jenn White, who served in the same position with Entercom-Indianapolis — Top 40 WZPL, AC WNTR (107.9 The Mix) and CBS Sports affiliate WXNT-AM — which were recently acquired by Cumulus.
