Tanchyk, Portland Rekindle Romance

• Alpha Media Portland is proud to announce the addition of Jamie Tanchyk to middays on Country KUPL (98.7 The Bull), beginning Monday, July 28.

Tanchyk is no stranger to Portland listeners, having spent the past several years across the street as PD of Audacy Hot AC KRSK (Bella 105) and afternoon talent on Country sibling KWJJ (99.5 The Wolf) until March’s corporate downsizing. Before his Portland arrival, Tanchyk spent five years at KHTP (Hot 103.7)/Seattle, held several programming and on-air roles in Albany, NY, and did weekends on the former WODS (103.3 AMP Radio)/Boston.

“Bringing Jamie to KUPL is a strategic win for The Bull,” said Ross MacLeod, Content Director for 98.7 The Bull. “He’s got deep experience across multiple formats, strong local equity in Portland, and a track record of programming and performance success. He understands what makes this market tick, and he’s exactly the kind of talent who can strengthen our connection with listeners and grow the brand.”

“After months of answering questions like ‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ and ‘Have you ever worked a grill?’ — I’m pumped to be back on the air with Portland’s incredible Country fans,” said Tanchyk. “Big thanks to Ross MacLeod, Dylan Salisbury, Phil Becker, and Robert Dove — not just for giving me this shot, but for pretending to be fascinated every time I bring up my chihuahuas. That’s what I call leadership… or at least patience.”
