Tulsa's Radio Landscape: A Tale of Program Director Shifts
Radio stations in Tulsa are experiencing a wave of change, with Program Directors on the move, reshaping the city's airwaves.
Let's dive into the exciting developments:
At Zoellner Media Group, the newly formed company has welcomed 'Wavy Davy' Michaels as the Program Director for Classic Rock '103.3 The Eagle'. Michaels, a seasoned radio professional, brings his expertise from Griffin Media, where he served as PD and afternoon host at '92.9 The River'. His journey includes a long stint at 103.3 from 1995 to 2018, followed by a move to '92.9 The Drive' in 2019. But here's where it gets interesting: Michaels' departure from Griffin Media has sparked a chain of events.
Tabatha Grammer, the new PD at Griffin Media, steps into the role with a unique background. Grammer, who has been serving as the Program Director for CHR '106.9 K-Hits' and midday host at KRQV, is now taking on the challenge of programming '92.9 The River'. With a history of success, including roles as Operations Manager for Great Plains Media and PD at 'Hot 102.5' and '105.9 Kiss-FM', Grammer is poised to make an impact. And this is the part most people miss: Grammer will continue to oversee KHTT until a new PD is appointed, ensuring a smooth transition.
In her own words, Grammer shared her excitement, emphasizing the perfect fit and the legacy she leaves at K-Hits. She wrote, "I'm thrilled to announce my new role as PD/Brand Manager for 92.9 The River. This is a dream come true, and I can't wait to bring my passion to the station. It's time to pass the torch at K-Hits, a station we built with talent and dedication. I'm proud of the team and the success we've achieved." The full job posting for the PD role at K-Hits is available online, offering an exciting opportunity for radio enthusiasts.
But the changes don't stop there. Zoellner Media Group is also seeking a Program Director for Hot AC 'Mix 96.5'. With these shifts, Tulsa's radio scene is evolving, and we can't wait to see the fresh perspectives and creative programming these moves will bring.
So, what do you think? Are these moves a sign of a vibrant radio industry, or do they indicate a more complex shift? Share your thoughts in the comments; we'd love to hear your take on Tulsa's radio landscape!
