Brad Steiner
Cumulus Media has announced that it has appointed Brad Steiner as Program Director for three of its four New Orleans radio stations. Steiner will oversee programming for Cumulus New Orleans stations WZRH-FM (Alt 92.3), WRKN-FM (NASH Icon 106.1), and KKND-FM (106.7 The Krewe). He joins Cumulus following almost 20 years at Chattanooga, TN, station, WDOD-FM, where he was Assistant Program Director and Afternoon On-Air Personality.
Pat Galloway, Regional Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus New Orleans/Baton Rouge/Lafayette/Columbus-Starkville, said: “Brad Steiner’s passion for creating great radio and for New Orleans is off the charts. That passion, combined with his strong people skills, intellect and vision, make him the perfect choice to lead these three popular station brands into the future.”
Steiner said: “I’m thrilled about the opportunity to build these brands alongside a brilliant group of people including an innovative and talented local staff, Troy Hanson, Jim Kurdziel, the energetic and passionate Pat Galloway, among others. I often said I would only leave Chattanooga for a handful of places, and New Orleans was one of them. The city and its people are pure magic. I’m just happy they’ve allowed me to be paid in nothing but crawfish.”
