Nashville Radio: WSM-FM's Amy Paige Was Let Go On Her Birthday

Longtime Nashville country radio host Amy Paige was laid off by Cumulus Media on her birthday as part of nationwide company cutbacks. 

According to The Tennessean, the veteran midday personality at 95.5 WSM-FM was let go last week. Paige had previously hosted the same shift at sister station 103.3 Country (WKDF) for about three and a half years after joining Cumulus in 2022.

The move came amid broader layoffs at Cumulus Media affecting broadcast, network, sales, programming and digital roles across multiple markets as the company navigates its post-bankruptcy reorganization. 

In a Facebook post, Paige expressed gratitude for her four years with the company and described a “compassionate and gentle sendoff.” She noted it marked “a new year and a new era” for her. 

Paige built an 18-year presence on Nashville’s country airwaves. She spent nine years as midday host at iHeartMedia’s The Big 98 (WSIX-FM) before resigning in 2020, and earlier worked at SiriusXM’s Prime Country and The Highway, as well as stations in Washington, D.C., and New York. 

She is known for her engaging storytelling style and community involvement, including charity efforts and appearances with country artists.
