Cumulus Launches ‘The Overnight Ride’
Travis Daily, Cumulus VP of Country, commented, “Having the only live Country overnight show gives the third-shifters a radio show to not only connect with, but that they love to call in and participate in. If you listen to the show, you will hear that Justin is already becoming a good friend to everyone from emergency responders on call to the clerk at the overnight truck stop, to the actual truck drivers hauling goods across America while the rest of us sleep.”
More recently, Franiak and Deanna Marie did mornings on former Beasley AC WJBR (Mix 99.5)/Wilmington, DE until Oct. 2023, ahead of the station’s sale to VCY. Bonus Fun Fact: Deanna Marie also relocated to Nashville last summer to do nights on Midwest Communications AC WJXA (Mix 92.9).
Franiak remarked, “Moving to Nashville has always been a goal of mine, and I’m very appreciative that Cumulus Media has provided me the opportunity to come to Music City. Being live in studio and taking calls from around the country is extremely exciting. I’m pumped to share my life and become part of the ‘Third Shifters’ routine as well as give our listeners a deeper connection to the artists that make Country music great.”
