Boogie D Named PD of Magic 107.3/KC

• Cumulus Media has named programming pro Jowcol “Boogie D” Dolby as the new PD of Urban AC KMJK (Magic 107.3)/Kansas City. He succeeds Al Payne, who in August was named PD of Howard University’s Urban AC WHUR/Washington.

Boogie is a 25-year radio veteran who most recently served a brief stint as OM/PD of Max Media Rhythmic KFCO (Flo 107.1) and Rhythmic AC KJHM (Jammin’ 101.5)/Denver until April. Before that he was OM of Radio One Urban WGPR (Hot 107.5) and Urban AC WDMK (105.9 Kiss FM)/Detroit. Boogie’s lengthy career with Radio One also includes two stints as OM/PD of WHHL (Hot 104.1) and WFUN/St. Louis, with a two-year stretch as PD of Urban WPHI (100.3 The Beat)/Philadelphia sandwiched in between. His previous programming experience includes Radio One’s WCHH [nowWQNC]/Charlotte and a stretch as MD at WPGC/Washington back in the day.

Donna Baker, RVP/Market Manager of Cumulus Kansas City, said, “Boogie D brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion to win to our outstanding Magic 107.3 team. We are fortunate to have his creativity and leadership as we continue robust growth generating results for advertisers and even more focus serving our listeners in the KC community.” Kenny Smoov, VP/Urban Formats, Cumulus Media, said, “The ‘Boogie’ is making its way to KC and we’re excited to bring in a veteran player like Boogie D to Cumulus. Let’s make some Magic!”

Dolby commented, “I have watched Magic evolve in the Urban Music space and am excited by what I hear and by the tremendous ratings growth. The top-tier talent of Rick and Sasha in the morning and one of the Kings of Comedy, DL Hughley, in the afternoons is unmatched. Combined with KC stars Darron Story, Ivani and all our other talented on-air team members, the foundation for the next level of winning is in place.”
