Tasha Simone exits as Program Director and midday host at Cumulus Media’s “Hot 107.7” WUHT Birmingham as part of the company’s ongoing downsizing.
Simone, who has been with WUHT since 2005, took on the Program Director position in January 2022. In addition to her work at WUHT, she has also hosted nights on Westwood One’s “The Touch,” a 24/7 R&B format.
Earlier in her career, Simone worked with Cox’s Birmingham cluster and contributed to WERC-TV from 2006 to 2011.
Simone said, “When it comes to passion, we all know that it isn’t something we can control. Radio is my passion. It is a relationship that I will never leave, and it will never leave me. Nearly three decades in, and radio remains one of my most cherished and unexpected blessings. And just like people, radio is evolving, and so am I. This recent shift is propelling me into another Jeremiah 29:11 experience. Thank you to my Birmingham Midday listeners who have allowed me to be the BFF in their ears for almost 20 years; my adored Evening listeners across the country (The Touch); and the Cumulus Birmingham team, James Robinson, and Kenny Smoov. We made great radio together.”
