This appointment marks a return to Cumulus for Welling, who was previously VP/Market Manager for the company’s five stations in Shreveport and Bossier City, LA.

Cody is a passionate broadcaster who is dedicated to helping local businesses connect with our audiences and fully leverage the opportunities our traditional and digital assets provide.”
Welling commented, “I’m excited to return to Cumulus Media, where I have many friendships and will be able to work with all the talented broadcasters, content creators, and the entire team from Saginaw, throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region, and down to Flint. We have extremely strong properties, and I’m honored to serve the hard-working communities, engage our listeners, and build results for our partners that trust these stations for joy and entertainment each and every day. I’d like to thank Bob Walker for his support, Mark Sullivan for his guidance, and Chris Monk for making this a smooth transition before his retirement.”
