Cumulus Media layoffs are continuing, with Central Pennsylvania Markets Harrisburg, Lancaster, and York, PA, the latest to feel the impact.
Dave Russell is out as Program Director and afternoon host at AC 103.3 WARM-FM York after a notable nine-year tenure. This marks Russell’s third time working in this building, having spent eleven years at 910 WSBA from 1988 to 1999, where he advanced to Assistant Program Director and Promotions Director.
WARM also has dropped the syndicated John Tesh show at night.
AJ Cobain has departed from the afternoon slot at Country “I105” WIOV-FM in Ephrata/Lancaster. Cobain joined the station in 2018 after a decade-long tenure at iHeartMedia, where he held various roles, including Traffic/Sales Assistant and Public Service Coordinator. He also hosted the nighttime show at Variety Hits “Y102” WRFY in Reading.
Corbin posted on Instagram, “I was informed this morning that my position in Afternoons at I105 has been eliminated. After 6 years, that’s a wrap. I’ve been lucky to talk on the mic for the past 16 years, and doing what I love, but hey, it happens! It was an honor working with everyone in the York and Harrisburg buildings throughout this time. Huge thanks to everyone who believed in me. And a huge thanks to everyone who listened to me every afternoon and for making me a part of your day. Not sure what’s next after this, but I’m gonna process this and figure all that out.”
Venetia Stephenson has departed from her role as APD/MD and afternoon host at Rhythmic CHR “Hot 106.7” WWKL in Hershey after two-decades. She was also national midday host for Westwood One’s Hot AC network.
