Terry Ford is leaving one SEC city for another. He has been named the new program director at 107.5 The Game in Columbia, SC. The new opportunity also includes oversight of Cumulus Columbia’s ESPN station, ESPN 1320 AM/WISW-AM.
Ford comes to South Carolina from Sports 96.1 The Zone in Lexington, KY. He wore multiple hats there including PD, afternoon drive host, and imaging director.
“We are excited to have Terry join our team in Columbia,” Tammy O’Dell, Cumulus’s Vice President and Columbia market manager, said in a press release. “His experience and passion for Sports/Talk will bring new energy to the station and play a vital role in moving 107.5 The Game to a winning position in the market.”
Ford has more than 20 years of experience in sports radio. Prior to his run in Kentucky, he hosted late night shows at 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore. He’s also been heard in Atlanta, Seattle, Boise, and on Yahoo Sports Radio.
“I want to thank Cumulus Columbia Market Manager Tammy O’Dell for offering me this fabulous opportunity. In my many conversations with Tammy, you could hear her love and passion for 107.5 The Game. I also want to thank Cumulus SVP of Sports, Programming and Audience Bruce Gilbert. It was Bruce who put me on Tammy’s radar. I can’t wait to land in Columbia and get started!” Ford said.
