Brian Philips, EVP of Content & Audience for Cumulus Media, said, “Dave Hill impressed us with his pure programming creativity and vivid imagination. The Fox rules classic rock in KC, but we don’t take our legacy for granted. Dave’s fresh perspective and rich experience will help keep us on top.”

Hill commented, “What a score! Most of my favorite things in one place – a legendary classic rock station with a pro staff, competition BBQ, and a football town all wrapped into one gig! Thanks to Donna Baker, Doug Hamand, Troy Hanson, and Brian Philips for giving me the opportunity to take the helm of KCFX.”
