Cumulus Memphis Stands For Heritage
• Chad Heritage is packing for a big move to Memphis, as he’s been hired by Cumulus to program Country WGKX (Kix 106) and AC WKIM (98.9 The Bridge).
Heritage notably spent over two decades with iHeartMedia Little Rock, serving as SVP of Programming since 2006 and National Brand Coordinator since 2009. He had also programmed Country KSSN & Classic Country KMJX (105.1 The Wolf) for the past 23 years, winning multiple CMA Awards along the way, until he was caught up in the company’s massive January layoffs. He most recently worked for Townsquare Media Killeen-Temple, TX as Director of Content for the five-station cluster and Brand Manager for Country KUSJ (US105).
Morgan Bohannon, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Memphis, said, “We knew Chad was a good match the first time we talked to him. He’s from the region, has had a very successful programming career and is the perfect fit to lead one of America’s best Country brands with Kix 106. He’s just the perfect fit for us and we’re excited about his joining the Cumulus team in Memphis.” Danni Bruns, Operations Manager of Cumulus Memphis, remarked, “Chad is the winning team member we’ve been looking for, and I’m excited to work with him as well as learn from him.”
An elated Heritage commented, “I’m beyond excited to join the extremely talented Cumulus team in Memphis. I grew up listening to the legendary Kix 106, so this is truly a dream come true for me.” Until he gets situated, Heritage can be contacted at chadheritage@gmail.com.
