Kenny J Headed To Kansas City
Kenny J is plotting his journey from Waco, TX to Kansas City as he is named as the new PD/midday personality for Cumulus Urban AC KMJK (Magic 107.3)/Kansas City. Kenny, who will also do middays on Magic 107.3, is currently VP of Programming for Kennelwood Radio Urban KWBT (94.5 The Beat)/Waco, TX. He previously served as APD/MD for Radio One Classic Hip Hop KSOC (Boom 94.5)/Dallas, and he’s also worked at KKDA/Dallas, West Palm Beach, Indianapolis and Tulsa.
Donna Baker, Midwest RVP/Market Manager for Cumulus Kansas City, said, “When we interviewed Kenny J to join the team of talented programmers in Kansas City, his passion and enthusiasm lit up the room! He’s not only a specialist in the format, his vision for connecting with the Magic 107.3 family of listeners will continue to set this great station apart as a favorite adult station in Kansas City.” OM Lance Tidwell commented, “We are excited to have Kenny at the helm of Magic 107.3 in Kansas City. The station is poised for significant growth and will benefit from Kenny’s leadership and deep knowledge of the Urban AC format.”
Kenny J said, “I’m extremely grateful to have this opportunity to lead in KC and to work with an already winning staff. I would like to thank Lance Tidwell, Donna Baker, Doug Hamand, Ken Johnson and Mike McVay for their confidence and support and I can’t wait to get started.” Kenny succeeds Maurice Devoe, who was recently named PD of iHeartMedia Urban KMJM (100.3 The Beat)/St. Louis.
