Elliott Takes Command Of Cincy’s Cat & Fox
• Cumulus has hired Chris Elliott as Program Director of WNNF (Cat Country 94.1) and Classic Rock WOFX (92.5 The Fox)/Cincinnati.
Elliott arrives in Ohio from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was Operations Manager of Guaranty Media’s four-station cluster and PD of Country WTGE (100.7 The Tiger) and Rock WDGL (Eagle 98.1). Prior to that, Elliott was Brand Manager for Manning Media’s four-station group in Frederick, MD. He earlier worked for LM Communications in Lexington, KY as PD of Hot AC WCDA and Director of Operations/Affiliate Manager for Sports-Talk sister WLXG-FM.
Jon Laing, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Cincinnati, said, “We really like Chris! He’s an astute, well-rounded programmer — just what this important role calls for.” OM Keith Mitchell remarked, “After a lengthy search for this unique position, we’re excited to have Chris take on Country and Classic Rock for our cluster. His unique experience programming both formats in Baton Rouge makes him the right choice to take the helm for our stations.”
Elliott commented, “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the Cumulus Cincinnati team, and very excited for what’s to come on 92.5 The Fox and Cat Country 94.1. A big thank you to Jon Laing, Keith Mitchell, John Dimick, and Charlie Cook for both their vision and trust.”
The WNNF PD position has been open since Patrick Scott left last May; Elliott also succeeds Steve Dent as PD of WOFX.
