Bruns Held Over At Cumulus Memphis
• Cumulus Media has signed Danni Bruns to a new multi-year agreement to remain as Operations Manager of the company’s four-station Memphis group and PD/afternoon co-host on Mainstream Rock WXMX (98.1 The Max). The other brands in the cluster are AC WKIM (98.9 The Bridge), Urban AC WRBO and Country WGKX (Kix 106).
Bruns is a Memphis native who began her radio career as a college intern, and went on to co-host the morning show at WTXT/Tuscaloosa, AL.

She was promoted to OM in August 2017 and in addition to her PD duties on The Max she also co-hosts Danni & The Jar with Chris “The Jar” Jarman weekdays from 3-7pm.
Moments after the paperwork was signed, Morgan Bohannon, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Memphis, said, “I’ll go to battle any day with Danni Bruns on my team. Energetic, passionate and talented are just a few of the words I would use in describing Danni. She’s a fighter and has proven to be a great leader for our programming team. I’m excited to know we have her committed for years to come.” An elated Bruns commented, “This incredible opportunity for me is due to every single person I work with day in and day out. Thank you for believing in me as much as I believe in all of you.”
