Wall Stepping Down; Will You Step Up?
• After a year in the PD chair at Cumulus Country WLXX (NASH FM 92.9) and Classic Country WVKL (101.5 NASH Icon)/Lexington, KY, veteran programmer Kenny Wall has tendered his resignation for a most noble reason — he’s moving back to his hometown of Plumerville, Arkansas (population 724) to help care for his ailing father while focusing on his voicetracking business.

The position (Program Director/On-Air) is one of four Lexington openings posted on the Cumulus Careers portal. “By the way,” Wall tells RAMP, “The gig I’m leaving is GREAT, so people need to apply.” You heard the man. Cumulus is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
• Wall’s programming resume includes a stint as OM of Cumulus Northwest Arkansas and PD of KKEG/Fayetteville and KBBQ/Fort Smith.
