Lewis Named PD of 93.9X/Indy

• Cumulus Media has appointed Steven Lewis as the inaugural Program Director of Active Rock WNDX (93.9X)/Indianapolis, starting Oct. 7. Lewis will also do afternoons on 93.9X, which launched on May 24.

Lewis is inbound from iHeartMedia Cincinnati, where he has served as Assistant Director of Custom/National Programming since December 2017. His previous PD stops include WIOG/Saginaw and WCHD & WYBD/Dayton. This new gig also marks a return to the Cumulus fold for Lewis, who was on-air in the Cincinnati cluster from 2016-2017.

Christopher “Boomer” Layfield, Operations Manager of WNDX, WFMS and WJJK, said, “93.9X shot out of a cannon to incredible audience response when we launched back in May, thanks to Doug Hamand, Troy Hanson, Derek Madden and Jim Kurdziel. We’re now adding just the right mad rock programming genius to make us dangerous… in a good way. Steven is ideally suited to lead this team. I share his vision and look forward to working with him to firmly establish the 93.9X brand in Indy.”

Lewis exclaimed, “I’m excited for the opportunity to build on the momentum that started in May when 93.9X became Indy’s Rock Station! Doug Hamand and Troy Hanson are among the best programming minds in the industry and I look forward to joining the awesome team that Chuck Fredrick and Boomer are leading to great things in Indianapolis!”
