Bill Fox is joining Cumulus Media Toledo as Operations Manager. He will also co-host mornings on Classic Hits 93.5 WRQN beginning in July.
What We Know: Fox steps into the roles previously held by Jerry Mac, who exited in April. He officially joins the cluster on Monday, June 22. His morning show duties begin the following month. Fox brings decades of programming and on-air experience across multiple formats.
What’s at Stake: Toledo’s Cumulus cluster needs stable leadership following Mac’s departure. Additionally, WRQN requires a consistent morning presence to maintain audience ratings. Fox’s multi-format background — Classic Hits, Country, AC, and Classic Rock — makes him a versatile fit. Strong morning performance directly impacts a station’s overall revenue and market position.
What Remains Unclear: Details about Fox’s morning co-host have not yet been announced. Furthermore, no specifics around his full programming strategy for the cluster have surfaced. It is also unclear whether additional staffing changes are planned following his arrival.
What It Means: Fox arrives with an extensive resume spanning major markets and multiple formats. Most recently, he hosted mornings at Saga Communications’ Classic Country 96.9 WSIG in Harrisonburg, VA. Before that, he held programming roles at WXCL Peoria and WDEZ Wausau. His experience across stations like WOKQ Portsmouth, WYJB Albany, and WFNK Portland signals that Cumulus Toledo is prioritizing proven talent to stabilize its cluster.
