Jock-O-Rama @ Cumulus Shreveport, NOLA

• Lots of activity in the hallways of the Cumulus Media broadcast complex in Shreveport, LA, as several personalities move into new dayparts. Let’s start at Hot AC KQHN (Q97.3), where OM/PD Jay Michaels (left) moves from afternoons to morning drive. And there’s more good news — Rachel Ryan (right), who formerly did middays on Q97.3 until December 2020 makes her triumphant return, this time in afternoon drive. Dallace Jade remains in middays, and Adam Bomb hold down the fort from 7-midnight.

Tish Boden, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Shreveport, said, “Team Cumulus Shreveport is looking forward to the success of the revamped lineup for Q97.3. Jay Michaels in the morning is a huge benefit because he will be live and local. The Q97.3 audience already loves Jay; he is the voice of the station. Also, having Rachel Ryan back with us doing afternoon drive is a big win for Team Cumulus Shreveport!”

Michaels remarked, “Our revamped lineup on Q97.3 allows us to have local, interactive and relatable content throughout the day. I’m excited to kick off the day with our listeners and lots of music and what I know will be Shreveport’s new favorite, ‘Carmen Calls on the :10’s’ … and I’m so glad Rachel Ryan is coming back to handle afternoon drive!” A clearly energized Ryan exclaimed, “I love Shreveport! A feel-good city that welcomes you with a warm hug! Big thanks to Jay Michaels and Tish Boden for welcoming me back to the Q97.3 team! I’m ready to hit the ground running!”

• And that movement extends into Cumulus New Orleans … Alternative WZRH (ALT 92.3) welcomes Anna for middays. Anna (left) formerly did middays across the hall on KKND (formerly Classic Hits 106.7 The Krewe) until last week, when it flipped to Gospel as Heaven 106.7. At the same time, Daniel Merry (right) moves from middays to nights on ALT 92.3 as host of his new show, Merry On The Move.

ALT PD Brad Steiner commented, “We are putting Daniel on at night so he can do what he’s GREAT at — getting out on the streets and mixing it up with listeners! Merry On The Move debuts tonight with Daniel live all over town each weeknight hanging with listeners… whether it’s at a show, a bar, a brewery, or their house. We’re going everywhere, all across New Orleans, so join us on ALT 92.3 and be a part of the fun!”
