Chris Clare Returning To Cincy

Chris Clare has been hired by Cumulus Media as the new PD of Country WNNF (NASH FM 94.1)/Cincinnati. He will replace Chris Huneke, who recently joined Cleveland-based Futuri Media as Partner Integration Specialist. Clare is currently PD of Binnie Media Country WTHT (99.9 The Wolf)/Portland, ME, and this new gig marks his return to Cincinnati — a few years back he worked at the former WYGY (Star 96.5).

Clare was hired at WTHT last March after nearly eight years with ADX Communications’ Country WYCT (Cat Country 98.7)/Pensacola, FL as co-PD/MD and afternoon personality. Earlier in his career Clare was APD/MD at KKND/New Orleans and he was also on the air at KXPK and KALC/Denver and WGRL/Indianapolis.

Keith Mitchell, Operations Manager of Cumulus Media Cincinnati, said, “The team here in Cincinnati is excited for Chris’ arrival in September and the wealth of country experience and enthusiasm he brings to NASH-FM. Knowing Chris is an avid runner, the NASH team will be rooting for him when he runs the Flying Pig marathon!”

Clare remarked, “Thank you to Mike McVay, Charlie Cook, Dave Crowl and Keith Mitchell for this amazing opportunity in Cincinnati. I look forward to working with them to achieve the goals that have been set for WNNF. And, thank you to Lee Kinberg, Massimo Rosati, Mark White and Stan Bennett for allowing me to be a part of a great company in Binnie Media. Now, I have to remember which way I like my chili.”
