Cumulus & PickleJar Pull An All-Nighter
• PickleJar and Cumulus Media have teamed up to create PickleJar Up All Night, a new live overnight radio show based at Cumulus Country WKDF/Nashville and airing seven nights a week across 47 Cumulus radio markets, starting May 5.
Patrick Thomas (pictured, below), President of Silverfish Media and former Executive Producer/co-host of the syndicated Big D & Bubba Show has been tapped to host PickleJar Up All Night, which will fill the vacancy created with the December 31 cancellation of Later With Lia.
“This will be another first for artists and fans of PickleJar,” said Jeff James, CEO & Co-Founder of PickleJar. “PickleJar is growing as a cultural force, and this is a natural extension of our mission to help artists get more exposure. Cumulus Media is an incredible partner that shares in our vision. We are thrilled to be able to bring premium programming to local listeners and music fans around the country.”
“PickleJar and Cumulus will meet at the intersection of emerging artists and excited live audiences,” said Cumulus Chief Content Officer Brian Philips. “We’ll add to their platform’s ambitious array of artist-friendly extensions as we build a live, overnight community of impassioned Country fans from coast-to-coast. We’ll give rising performers in many parts of America — including those beyond Nashville — a chance to have their music appreciated. We also embrace PickleJar’s mission of unifying every touchpoint of the fan’s experience and rewarding deserving performers. Country radio will always have a special place in this landscape, and Cumulus is proud to step into the lead with PickleJar.” Thomas can be congratulated at Patrick@picklejar.com.
