Cruise sets his compass due north after 11 years with Hubbard Radio Country WIRK (New Country 103.1)/West Palm Beach, where he was recently promoted to APD/MD. Cruise previously programmed Clear Channel Hot AC WCTQ/Sarasota, FL and he has also worked in Las Vegas and Albuquerque, NM.

Brian Lang, Regional Market President for Townsquare Media Northern New England said, “We are confident that Sammy’s leadership, energy, product knowledge and relationships make him the right person to lead our Portsmouth cluster.” Cruise commented, “I’ve had an amazing run in Florida working with some of the best in the business. I’m very much looking forward to joining the great team at Townsquare Media! An amazing opportunity like this doesn’t come along very often, and I’m very excited to get started. WOKQ is a legendary station and I’m honored to be able to be a part of its history. I heard the weather isn’t that different from Florida… that’s true, right?”
