Yes, Jammer, You Can Go Home Again
• We are sending our best wishes to Tommy “Jammer” Muzzillo, as he has been formally elevated to PD of the station he originally helped launch 25 years ago — Cumulus Top 40 KQXY (Q94)/Beaumont, TX. He succeeds former OM/PD Brandin Shaw, who recently retired from radio after 30 years. Bo Brown, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Beaumont, said, “Jammer is the leader we need to take Q94 to… the next level™. Nobody understands Q94 music and the Beaumont market better than Jammer.”
After his original stint at Q94 in the late ’90s, Muzzillo moved to the label side, doing regional promotion for Island Def Jam in Atlanta and Houston, and spent six years with Columbia Records in Dallas before he moved back to his hometown of Beaumont in 2010 and went back to work at Q94 as APD/MD/afternoon talent.
“I am thrilled to be programming the station I helped put on the air back in 1993!” Muzzillo said. “And the funny part is, our Market Manager, Bo Brown, who started about three months ago, was with me when we kicked off the station back in 1993! He and I work very well together and honestly, we have a really solid team inside Cumulus/Beaumont, plus having great Cumulus leaders and great minds like Doug Hamand, Mike McVay, Leslie Whittle and Louie Diaz to bounce music and ideas off of, makes us even stronger taking the station into the future.”
One of Jammer’s first official PD moves was to pick up the Westwood One-syndicated The Bert Show, weekdays from 5-9am.
