Cumulus Memphis, Shannon Renew Vows
• Cumulus Media and Duane Shannon have mutually agreed to a swell new multi-year extension keeping Shannon in place as PD of Country WGKX (Kix 106) and AC WKIM (98.9 The Bridge)/Memphis. Shannon, a nine-year cluster vet, will also continue to co-host Kix 106’s Duane and Abby in the Morning. He’s pictured here, right, with an unidentified fan…
Morgan Bohannon, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Memphis, said, “Duane has become part of the fiber of both Kix 106 and Memphis. He has exhibited a great knowledge, appreciation and passion for what is a historic, heritage and leading brand in Memphis. Kix 106 has been the leading Country brand in Memphis for over 30 years and we’re highly confident that will continue with Duane’s leadership.”
Shannon commented, “I can’t believe they continue to trust me with this legendary station… you’re sure there is no one better out there? Seriously, it’s a pleasure to come in to work and be a part of a creative team that motivates me to win every day.” Shannon’s successful career with Cumulus spans 13 years and includes previous stops in Chattanooga, Detroit, Toledo and Atlanta.
