JR Schumann

Cumulus Country KPLX 99.5 FM THE WOLF and KSCS 96.3 FM Dallas OM/PD JR Schumann has been selected to oversee Country programming for SiriusXM.

Schumann succeeds John Marks, who left the SiriusXM in September to join Spotify.

Schumann joined Cumulus/Dallas in 2014.  His prior Country radio stops include COX Media Group Country WWKA K92.3 FM in Orlando and Summit Media Country WZZK 104.7 FM in Birmingham.  He has also programmed stations in Longview and Killeen TX.

His last day with Cumulus will be Dec. 24, and he will relocate to Nashville in January. He will also lead SiriusXM’s The Highway.

“It’s been an honor to work these two legendary stations in Dallas, and I’m truly grateful for Cumulus to have had this opportunity,” says Schumann. “There aren’t words to describe how excited I am about joining the Sirius XM team, and for Steve Blatter and Scott Greenstein to trust me with these enormous brands is beyond humbling!”
