98.7 The Bull Portland is adding Jamie Tanchyk to middays starting Monday, July 28.
“After months of answering questions like, ‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ and ‘Have you ever worked a grill?’ I’m pumped to be back on the air with Portland’s incredible Country fans,” said Tanchyk. “Big thanks to Ross MacLeod, Dylan Salisbury, Phil Becker, and Robert Dove not just for giving me this shot, but for pretending to be fascinated every time I bring up my chihuahuas. That’s what I call leadership, or at least patience.”
“Bringing Jamie to KUPL is a strategic win for The Bull,” said Ross MacLeod, Content Director for 98.7 The Bull. “He’s got deep experience across multiple formats, strong local equity in Portland, and a track record of programming and performance success. He understands what makes this market tick, and he’s exactly the kind of talent who can strengthen our connection with listeners and grow the brand.”
Tanchyk is well-known to Portland listeners. He previously served as PD of Hot AC Bella 105 and afternoon host on Country sibling 99.5 The Wolf until March’s corporate downsizing.
This move follows the recent exit of Danny Dwyer and Jake Byron. (BMM 7/16)
