Cumulus Media has announced that Jay Michaels, Operations Manager, Cumulus Shreveport, has been named Program Director for Country station KRMD 101.1 FM. Michaels was named Operations Manager for Cumulus’ five-station group in Shreveport in July.

He will continue in his current roles as Operations Manager for the cluster, and as Program Director and PM drive on-air personality for Cumulus Shreveport’s Hot AC station KQHN/Q97.3. Prior to joining Cumulus Shreveport in January, Michaels was Program Director for Cumulus Media’s WJJK and WYRG in Indianapolis, IN.

Aaron Criswell, VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Shreveport-Bossier City, said: "Jay has demonstrated a high level of focus, passion and engagement for the Cumulus Radio Shreveport brands. I am excited he has accepted the responsibility to return KRMD-FM to the legendary ratings status it once held.”

Michaels said: “To say that KRMD is a heritage brand is an understatement. I’m excited to work closely and hands on with our talented air staff and reclaim our position as the dominant country leader in the marketplace.”
