Happy Hour Extended At Cumulus OKC
Cumulus has now made that news official, adding that Bobby Yannarell, PD of Rhythmic KKWD (WiLD 104.9) will annex PD stripes for Hot AC sister KYIS (98.9 Kiss FM), succeeding Jeff Couch, who also retired in December.
Jay Davis, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus OKC said, “We have been incredibly blessed to have both Chris Baker and Jeff Couch leading our programming efforts for over a quarter of a century. We wish them the best of luck of luck in their hard-earned and well-deserved retirement years. With that said, we are equally excited to welcome back Robert ‘Cisco’ Mueller to head programming for WWLS and to elevate Bobby Yannarell to PD of KYIS. We are thrilled and believe we are poised for a similar long run of great leadership going forward. Congrats to all!”
Yannarell (right) remarked, “I’m happy and humbled to have the opportunity to program such a heritage brand in Oklahoma City. 98.9 Kiss FM was a station I grew up listening to on the bus ride to school! Also, I’m super excited to work in tandem again with some great personalities and friends that I had the privilege to work with in the past. Excited for the things ahead!”
