Williams Adds PD Stripes For WKDF/Nashville
• Less than two weeks after Paul Williams was named Director of Programming for Westwood One Nashville, parent company Cumulus Media has bestowed upon him bonus PD stripes for Country WKDF/Nashville.
Allison Warren, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Nashville, said, “Charlie Cook and I are pleased to announce that Paul Williams will pick up WKDF Program Director responsibilities, effective immediately. Paul’s prior experience not only with talent and big brand shows, but building brands and marketing made him the natural choice to lead programming for WKDF.”
Charlie Cook, Operations Manager of Cumulus Nashville and corporate VP of Country Formats, said, “After Paul joined the company, Allison Warren and I saw an opportunity to have him take on the added responsibility of WKDF. Allison and I appreciate his creativity and we look forward to WKDF’s continued growth under his leadership.”
Williams remarked, “What a unique opportunity to lead a radio station in a community you have lived in for over 14 years in one of the craziest times in history. We’re going to get through this with our Tennessee neighbors then rebound together with music, hope, fun and the larger-than-life Volunteer State spirit.”
In his not-so-spare time, Williams oversees the marketing, content, and operations for Westwood One’s nationally syndicated Country programming, including: The Ty Bentli Show, The Blair Garner Show, Nights With Elaina, American Country Countdown, Country Countdown USA, Country Gold, and With Elaina.
