James Wakes Up Back At KRMD
Charlie Cook, Cumulus VP of Country, said, “It’s great to have Derek back in the seat where he can help lead the station to its rightful place as Shreveport’s No. 1 Country radio station.” VP/Market Manager Tish Boden commented, “Cumulus Shreveport is thrilled to have Derek James on our team! Derek is a natural and our listeners are excited to have him back. I look forward to Derek’s success on 101.1 KRMD-FM in morning drive.”
Anthony “Big Ant” Simmons, PD of 101.1 KRMD and 99.7 KMJJ, noted, “From the first time I met Derek when I moved to Shreveport almost a decade ago, he epitomized what Country truly is. From his walk, talk and true-to-life Country charm, to his historical knowledge of Country music in Shreveport and the impact it’s had on Country radio across the nation, I knew he was the only choice to help bring KRMD back to its days of glory and beyond! Derek is Country, Derek is Shreveport, Derek is All-American 101.1 KRMD… Welcome home!”
James remarked, “It’s like a dream — pinch me! Fifteen of my 28 years in radio have been at KRMD. After a five-year hiatus, it was the perfect time to come back on mornings. We’ve got an unbelievable leadership team here at Cumulus, and it’s great to be back home!”
