Lansing PD Gig Open Again
• Well, that was fast — RAMP has learned that, after just four days on the job as Brand Manager of Midwest Communications’ newly launched Top 40 WLMI (i92.9), Nikki Landry decided the gig wasn’t a good fit and has exited, creating what could be an unexpectedly wonderful opportunity for [your name here].
Among the key skills required for this position include expertise in promotions, social media, developing and directing a street team and of course, the ability to execute a strategic plan. As we speak i92.9 is playing 5,000 in a row commercial free with air talent set to debut on May 8… so the clock is ticking. The stage is set and all we need now is your managerial talent.
Qualified candidates are invited to email your most compelling materials to VP of Programming Jeff McCarthy at jeff.mccarthy@mwcradio.com, or overnight your package to: Brand Manager, c/o Jeff McCarthy, 1420 Bellevue Street, Green Bay, WI 54311. If you applied for this same position recently, McCarthy will be revisiting your material for further consideration. Midwest Communications, Inc. is an EOE by choice. You may listen to i92.9 online at i929fm.com.
• Scott On The Loose: And in a related story, Mike Scott is now available. Scott is the former OM of the Midwest Communications’ cluster in Lansing, MI and he was Brand Manager/afternoon personality at Classic Hits WLMI up until it’s recent flip to Top 40.
Scott arrived in Lansing a year ago, transitioning from the OM post with Krol Communications’ Classic Rock WRSR (103.9 The Fox)/Flint, MI. He’s a Detroit native who has 35 years of valuable experience, 29 of those in the Detroit market. His previous programming stops include Cumulus Country WNNF (NASH FM 94-1)/Cincinnati and 12 years as Asst. OM/APD/MD and midday talent for CBS Radio Country WYCD/Detroit. Scott is now seeking an immediate full-time opportunity (preferably in Michigan), but he will consider other markets as well. He can be reached at onairmichael@gmail.com.
