McCabe will report to Tim Moore, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia New Hampshire, who said, “Mike’s talent and experience stood out immediately and we are thrilled to have him join the iHeartMedia New Hampshire team. He’s a true radio geek — which I love — from on-air to programming — and even engineering! This guy is the real deal and we can’t wait for him to help take Z107 to even greater heights!”

McCabe commented, “I knew right away that this was an outstanding career move — and I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity to be a part of the winning culture at iHeartMedia. I feel a strong connection to the Z107 audience and can’t wait to collaborate with some of radio’s most innovative talent.”
