Jason Dixon has left his post as Program Director at Detroit Sports 105.1. Dixon announced the departure earlier today on his Facebook page via the following message.
Today marked my last day at Detroit Sports 105.1. I’m very proud of everything we were able to accomplish, but it’s time to move on. I’m thankful for the special team we were able to put together. You folks are the best! Also thanks to the listeners and everyone at GMD. I’m looking forward to finding the next stop in our little radio adventure.
Dixon joined Greater Media Detroit in April 2013 and was responsible for building the radio station from the ground up. During his tenure the station acquired the rights to the Detroit Pistons while presenting a solid alternative to market ratings leader 97.1 The Ticket.
No official announcement has been made by Greater Media Detroit on a replacement for his position.
