McCabe Named PD of Z104.3/Baltimore
• iHeartMedia keeps it in the family and taps Mike “McCabe”Kerr as the new Program Director of Top 40 WZFT (Z104.3)/Baltimore, effective January 20. The position has been open since December, when former PD Mike Miller transferred back to the company’s Harrisburg, PA cluster as an account executive.
McCabe (pictured) earns the sweet, sweet upgrade from iHeartMedia New Hampshire, where he has programmed Top 40 sister WERZ (Z107)/Portsmouth since September 2018. Before that he was Brand Manager and morning personality at Saga Top 40 WFIZ (Z95.5)/Ithaca, NY. McCabe was previously on the air at Entercom’s WPXY and WKSE/Buffalo, NY, as well as iHeartMedia’s WXKS (Kiss 108)/Boston, KDWB/Minneapolis and WQHC (HITS 96.1)/Charlotte. He began his radio career at Backyard Broadcasting in Elmira, NY and is a graduate of Elmira College.
Upon his arrival, McCabe will report to Mike Preston, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Baltimore, who commented, “McCabe’s extensive programming background, combined with his passion for the pop music landscape makes him the perfect fit for this position. We are thrilled to welcome him to Baltimore as we kick off Z104.3’s 11th year as Baltimore’s No. 1 Hit Music Station.” McCabe said, “I look forward to creating on-air, online and live content driven by the top hits that appeal to our Charm City listeners. The opportunity to work with local powerhouse talent like Elizabethany, Sos and The Kane Show is a dream come true.”
