Doug Montgomery, Townsquare Media Vice President of Country Music Programming & Content, is retiring on July 31.
Montgomery has been with the company for eight years. He initially arrived to serve as Director of Content for its Grand Rapids, MI, cluster and oversee the Country content for the company.
Montgomery said, “I have been extremely blessed to spend my whole adult life getting to do what I dreamed of as a kid. Be the guy who picks the songs on the radio and entertains listeners every day.”
“From my first overnight shift at WJPD in Ishpeming, Michigan, I knew Country Radio was the avenue I wanted to pursue. Being a part of Country Music going to great heights throughout my career has been a great thrill. I am fortunate.”
Kurt Johnson, Townsquare Media SVP/Content & Programming, added, “Doug is second to none. He’s been an influential programmer for decades, and we’ve been very fortunate to have him lead our Country team for eight years. His impact in building Townsquare Country’s success will leave a legacy. We’ll miss him a lot, but we’re happy for him at the same time.”
Before moving crosstown to Townsquare, Montgomery spent over 20 years with iHeartMedia’s Country B93.7, was SVP for the cluster and format Brand Coordinator.
