Always Room For Coffey

Nice to see that longtime New England radio pro JC Coffey has quickly landed a sweet new gig — he’s the newly named PD/MD/afternoon personality at Binnie Media Country WTHT (99.9 The Wolf)/Portland, ME, effective Monday, Sept. 18. He succeeds Chris Clare, who recently returned to Cincinnati as the new PD of Cumulus Country WNNF (NASH FM 94.1).

Coffey was most recently OM/Brand Manager of Townsquare Media Country cousins WOKQ/Portsmouth, NH and WPKQ (103.7 The Peak)/North Conway, NH and Classic Hits duo WSAK/WSHK (102.1 & 103.5 The Shark), which serves the Seacoast Region.

Binnie Media Portland OM Stan Bennett said, “We did an extensive search, spoke with a lot of very talented people and found JC has the knowledge and passion for Country music that we need to keep building on the current success. Add in his competitive drive, relentless commitment to success, and knowledge of the market, he was the clear choice to lead the Wolf.” Binnie VP of Programming Scott Laudani added, “We are excited to bring JC on board. JC’s skills will be an asset to WTHT and Binnie Media.” After Monday, Coffey can be contacted at jcoffey@binradio.com.
