Official: Cadillac Jack Joins Greater Media’s 96.9 FM Boston

Street talk for the past week has now been confirmed.

Veteran radio programmer Cadillac Jack McCartney has been named as the Director of Programming at Greater Media Boston. He will officially begin his new position on Monday, January 7, 2013.

An accomplished and seasoned radio veteran, Cadillac Jack most recently served as Vice President of Programming at Clear Channel Media & Entertainment in New York City, where he was responsible for Z100-FM, WLTW-FM, WKTU-FM, WAXQ-FM and WWPR-FM.

In his new role, he will oversee 96.9 FM, WMJX-FM, WKLB-FM, WBOS-FM and WROR-FM.

Cadillac Jack is no stranger to the Boston market. He spent over 20 years working in Boston radio in the 1990’s and 2000’s, programming both JAM’N 94.5 and KISS 108, and overseeing the entire Clear Channel Boston cluster for a decade through 2010, the last 3 years of which he also programmed WWPR-FM/Power 105.1 in NYC.

“I have been fortunate to work with many of the best programmers in our business, and Cadillac ranks at the top,” said Greater Media Boston Market Manager Rob Williams. “It is Greater Media’s good fortune to attract an all-star talent like Cadillac. As a program director, manager, strategic thinker, and leader, he is the best. Like Cadillac, Greater Media has a tremendous heritage of success in Boston radio and I am excited to work together on writing another great chapter.”

“A month ago, I would have bet anything I’d be on my way to Rwanda right now for some gorilla tracking and a good dose of rest and relaxation,” said Cadillac Jack. “Today, I’m outrageously happy that instead, I’m able to rejoin and partner with the very best manager in the radio industry, Rob Williams in Boston’s newly-created Director of Programming position.”
