Novosad Doubles His PD Portfolio

We want to extend our best wishes to the longstanding musical mayor of Lafayette, LA — Bobby Novosad, who has ably served as Brand Manager and morning host of Cumulus Top 40 KSMB for over 32 years. The company has now seen fit to expand Novosad’s programming purview by awarding him additional PD responsibilities for Country KXKC (NASH FM 99.1).

In making the announcement, Scott Chiasson, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Media Lafayette, said, “I’m very excited to promote Bobby to Program Director of NASH FM 99.1. Bobby has been a generational staple in the Lafayette metro area and is a fantastic radio guy. His deep experience and understanding of the way a winning station should sound is already having an impact. This is great for Bobby, Cumulus, our loyal listeners and the community we serve.”

Novosad commented, “It’s hard to fathom that I started my 33rd year this week at KSMB. From part-time on Sundays to middays/Promotions Director, Asst. MD, Music Director, APD to PD, I have enjoyed it all — and still do. KSMB continues to be the market powerhouse in Lafayette, LA. My staff is beyond amazing, Karli Guidry is the perfect co-host, and our ratings are through the stratosphere.” He added, “That said, I’m beyond excited to add to that success as Program Director of NASH FM 99.1. I love challenges and this is one I couldn’t turn down. Thanks to Scott Chiasson, Pat Galloway, Greg Frey, Mike McVay, Charlie Cook and Cat Thomas for this opportunity.”
