Valentine’s Day Lasts Over 25 Years
• Representatives of Cumulus Media and popular longtime Nashville radio personality Phil Valentine have both applied the proper signatures to a new long-term contract to keep Valentine (pictured) around in afternoon drive on News-Talk WWTN (SuperTalk 99.7 WTN)/Nashville. The Phil Valentine Show debuted over 24 years ago and remains a top-rated program on the station.
In making the announcement, Allison Warren, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Media Nashville, said, “Phil Valentine is a tremendous talent and has an incredible connection with our audience and our clients. We are excited to extend our partnership with Phil, continuing to deliver compelling content across any and every platform.” Valentine noted, “I was the morning guy when we launched SuperTalk 99.7 WTN back in 1995. That’s where I started in talk radio. I plan to finish my career at WTN sometime way down the road. This is home, and I’m glad to be here for the long haul.”
In addition to his award-winning afternoon show on WWTN-FM, Valentine will also work with Cumulus Nashville on a variety of projects, including the development and creation of original content podcasts, and other multimedia projects and events. The first in a series of podcasts to launch is PodGOATS, which debuted in February and is hosted by Valentine and his son, Campbell Valentine.
Campbell Valentine remarked, “My dad started at WTN the week I was born, so it just feels right to be a small part of the team now. Cumulus and WWTN provide a broad local and regional platform and I’m excited that PodGOATSwill be distributed through their platform. Co-hosting an original show with my dad, Phil, has been extremely rewarding for a variety of reasons. I’m looking forward to the endless possibilities this partnership with Cumulus Nashville presents.” New episodes of PodGOATSare available on Wednesdays and Sundays and are available at podgoats.com as well as on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, TuneIn, AudioBoom and other podcast services.
