Duffy Upped To PD @ WBSX/Wilkes-Barre

• Cumulus Media Active Rock WBSX (97.9X)/Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA has promoted midday personality Mike Duffy to PD. That post has been unfilled since Tori Thomas left in June. Duffy, a seasoned broadcaster with over 20 years of experience in Northeast Pennsylvania, joined 979X in April.

“We love having Mike here — he has the leadership qualities and passion you look for in a PD,” said VP/Market Manager Chris Kenney, adding, “He brings a great vibe to the station and a positive energy that is a huge benefit to our listeners and staff.” OM Randy Savage commented, “I’m very excited to have Mike join the ranks of our programing team. He has demonstrated his ability to lead the 979X team and knows how to win!”

Commenting on his new PD duties, Duffy said, “I’m incredibly grateful and excited for this opportunity at 97.9X. I’ve been fortunate getting to spend my entire career in my hometown radio market, but now I get to program a powerhouse rock station here as well! I’m psyched to be working with Chris Kenney once again, as well as work with and learn from some brilliant programming minds in Mike McVay, Troy Hanson and Jim Kurdziel.”
