Cumulus Media has announced that it has appointed broadcast management veteran Jeff Jarnigan as Operations Manager of the Cumulus Media-Knoxville radio station cluster, headlined by the legendary WIVK-FM.

Jarnigan has over 30 years radio broadcasting experience in the Knoxville market and over 20 years experience in programming management.

Ken Salyer, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Knoxville said: “We are thrilled to add someone of Jeff’s reputation and experience to lead our outstanding programming team. His knowledge of our stations, market, and region are invaluable, as is his passion for our industry and community.”

Jarnigan said: "Being associated with the legendary WIVK, as well as the flagship station for the Vol Network, SportsRadio WNML, and the home of Phil Williams and Hallerin Hilton Hill,  NewsTalk 98.7, is akin to winning the radio lottery. These stations are each dominant in their respective formats and have defined success in East Tennessee radio for decades. I am excited to partner with the station teams to continue that success and drive their future growth."
