Changes are afoot in Syracuse. With OM/PD Tom Mitchell exiting the Cumulus cluster, new leaders have been named, including a new PD for The Score 1260.
That honor goes to Joe DeTomaso. He is also the PD and midday host at sister station 95X.
“I’m excited to add The Score 1260 to my programming duties here in Syracuse,” he said in a press release. “We will continue to expand our audiences on both The Score 1260 and WAQX in the digital footprint thru outstanding relevant local content.”
The Score carries a mostly syndicated lineup. CBS Sports Radio is heard for 22 hours per day. The only local show on the station is The Manchild Show with Boy Green featuring Jim Lerch and Paul Esden.
DeTomaso’s promotion is one of three made in the wake of Mitchell’s exit. Rick Roberts has been upped to PD at Top 40 outlet 93Q and Scott Dixon has been named Content Production Captain for streaming Triple A station The SGNL.
“These promotions and expanded roles recognize the valuable contributions that Joe Detomaso, Rick Roberts and Scott Dixon continue to make in growing our vibrant station brands through outstanding local entertainment content,” the cluster’s VP and market manager Beth Coughlin added. “The deep programming bench strength at Cumulus Syracuse stations is unmatched in the market, and that translates into programming that listeners love and choose every day — on-air, online and wherever they are.”
