AJ Dukette On The Loose
• After almost five years as Brand Manager of Townsquare AC WHOM/Portland, ME and host of AJ & Nikki in the Morning, AJ Dukette has exited for budgetary reasons. No word yet on the status of morning co-host Nikki Cruz.
Dukette joined Townsquare Portland in June 2015. Before that he notably spent 15 years (and three ownership changes) with WJYY/Concord-Lakes Region, NH, rising to PD in 2003 and later, OM of the company’s six-station Central New Hampshire cluster. Dukette commented, “I’d like to thank Herb Ivy for the incredible opportunity to work in this market, Nikki Cruz for being an amazing co-host for the past three years, and also thank the many listeners and clients I’ve had the pleasure to connect with in my time with the station.”
As far as his future plans go, Dukette said, “I’m taking a moment to process what is happening, and will soon be in search of my next opportunity. Meanwhile, I’ll be taking some time to focus on further growing my voiceover business, and spending some quality time with my 10 and 12-year-old daughters, and my fiancé Kathleen, as we prepare to get married later this year.” Interested suitors can easily reach Dukette at ajdukette@yahoo.com.
