Kelly Named PD Of Wildcats Radio Tucson

• Cumulus has appointed award-winning Sports broadcaster David Kelly as Program Director of KCUB-AM (Wildcats Radio 1290)/Tucson. Kelly will also anchor afternoon drive from 4-6pm weekdays.

Kelly joins Cumulus Media from KVOA-TV/Tucson, where he was a Sports Anchor/Reporter. Prior to that, he held a similar role with KMSB/KOLD-TV and was a radio network anchor and play-by-play announcer with IMG College at the University of Arizona. Kelly’s 20-plus-year Sports radio career includes earlier stops in Memphis, Cleveland and Bakersfield, CA.

Herb Crowe, Operations Manager of Cumulus Tucson, said, “I couldn’t be happier to welcome David to the Cumulus family. His experience covering all of the University of Arizona athletic programs for television, combined with his years of radio experience, make him the perfect person to lead Wildcats Radio 1290.”

Kelly commented, “When I came here to Tucson 15 years ago, my hope was that I’d have the chance at some point to lead coverage of the high-profile collegiate sports program at UA. The opportunity to head programming for Wildcats Radio 1290 gives me the chance to do that, as well as set the pace for delivering the best sports, news and information to our listeners in Southern Arizona.”
