Nashville Radio: Crate Morat Director of Music Prog At Cromwell


Effective July 1, 2023, Cromwell Media/Nashville’s Crate Morat, aka “Atticus,” Program Director and Brand Manager for “Nashville’s Rock Station” WBUZ 102.9 The Buzz, moves into a newly created role as Director of Music Programming, adding branding and imaging responsibilities for 93.3 Classic Hits WQZQ  and Urban AC 102.1 The Ville (W271AB). The transition is currently underway.

Morat said, “In addition to our heritage rock station, 102.9 The Buzz, we have two other distinct Nashville music brands that I’m excited to begin working with! Thanks to Cromwell Media owner Bud Walters, outgoing VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon, and newly appointed GM Shawn Fort, for creating the opportunity for me to lead all these music stations toward a successful future in Music City.”

Since May 2020 Morat has guided 102.9 The Buzz to a consistent market leading position. This is Morat’s second stint with Cromwell Media. He began his career in 2001 at WMFS-FM/Memphis before arriving in Nashville in 2010 where he served as WBUZ-FM Assistant PD/Imaging Director and PM drive host for four years. Morat spent the following six years in Indianapolis as Assistant PD for WFBQ-FM and PM drive host at WOLT-FM before rejoining Cromwell Media/Nashville.

“Crate was with us years ago and did a great job,” said Bud Walters, Cromwell Media President.

“We were glad to get his call from Indianapolis when 102.9 The Buzz was looking for a PD and he re-joined us. Now it’s great to be able to promote from within as we plan growth for Nashville’s 93.3 Classic Hits and 102.1 The Ville.”
