Jackie Stevens Named Top Producer For 'Nights With Elaina'


Cumulus Media’s Westwood One announces that award-winning Country music veteran Jackie Stevens returns to Westwood One as Executive Producer of their syndicated programs “Nights with Elaina” and “With Elaina” beginning today. In this capacity, Stevens will report to Susan Stephens, Senior Vice President/General Manager of Programming for Westwood One.

Jackie Stevens
Born in Vegas and raised in Los Angeles, Stevens has always been intrigued by bright lights and entertainment. She started her career as an intern at the iconic KZLA in Los Angeles more than 20 years ago and quickly moved into production and writing, working at Aftermidnite and producing the morning show for KKGO. Stevens then joined Westwood One and helped launch six different shows including “The Big Time Saturday Night,” and “The Big Time with Whitney Allen,” eventually becoming Executive Producer and Music Director of “The Big Time.” Over the years, “The Big Time” was nominated for four Academy of Country Music Awards and three Country Music Association awards, while Stevens and Allen won Gracie Awards for their work. 

After fifteen years, with “The Big Time,” Jackie moved to the record label side of the business for EMI Records Nashville/Universal Music Group Nashville as Director of Promotions, Midwest, responsible for launching artists like Kylie Morgan and a solo Tyler Hubbard. She has spent the last 4 years working with rock stars Brothers Osborne and Eric Church.

“I’ve admired Elaina’s passion for both radio and country music since the day I met her,” said Stevens. “I am beyond honored to be part of this team and thankful that Elaina, Susan and Westwood One have trusted me with this position.”

Smith added, "Jackie is not only one of the most talented and passionate people I have ever met in my life, but she is also one of the kindest. That combination is what makes her a dream EP for our shows. It's an honor to have her on board, and I'm so ready to get started!"
