Steve Knupp: Free Agent

• After a 24-year run with iHeartMedia, the last 22 years as SVP of Programming for the Harrisonburg, VA, market, Steve Knupp exits as the company is reportedly combining management of the Harrisonburg and Winchester, VA markets.

Knupp had served as PD and afternoon personality at Classic Rock WACL (98 Rock) since 2000 and had also overseen Top 40 WAZR (93.7 NOW), AC WSVO (Mix 93.1), Country WKCY-FM, Classic Country WKDW-AM 900 & News-Talk WKCY-AM.

In a Facebook post announcing his departure, Knupp said, “When I started there I had planned to be there two years tops. But one thing led to another and, *poof* — three college-aged/adult children later, here we are. Unfortunately all the ‘fun’ ended today. As media corporate Jenga continues, the block with my name on it was pulled out today. Will miss the peeps, the public and the clients. Carry on!”

Looking ahead, Knupp can be easily contacted at knuppradio@gmail.com.
