Dent Adds 96Rock PD Stripes

• Cumulus Cincinnati goes with a known pro and taps Steve Dent as Program Director of Active Rock WFTK (96Rock). The move makes sense when you consider A) Dent has been doing afternoon drive on 96Rock since joining Cumulus Cincinnati as PD of Classic Rock WOFX (92.5 The Fox) last September, and B) See A.

Dent is a Cincinnati native who began his radio career as a morning show intern with the legendary WEBN in 1999. The following year he joined the former WXEG/Dayton, OH as a weekend jock, and by 2011 had worked his way up to PD. More recently, Dent programmed iHeartMedia Classic Rock WTUE & Alternative WZDA (ALT 103.9)/Dayton.

 Jon Laing, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Cincinnati, said, “Since coming on board last September, Steve has proven himself as a strong leader with drive, passion, and accountability.” An energized Dent commented, “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to lead these Rock brands in my hometown. I’m looking forward to working with this talented team at Cumulus Cincinnati to build upon the Rock traditions of 92.5 The Fox and 96Rock. I’d like to thank John Dimick, Jon Laing, Troy Hanson, Wade Linder, and Keith Mitchell for their support.”
