Jamie “Tanch” Tanchyk is making a return to his old stomping grounds in Albany, joining 100.9/107.1 The Cat as the country station’s new late-night host.
Tanchyk — works as the midday host at 98.7 The Bull in Portland, known as “JT” on the Connoisseur Media country station, where he’ll continue while voicetracking nights from 10 PM-2 AM on The Cat — previously spent eight years in the market. He previously worked at Top 40, Rhythmic, and AAA stations in Albany before departing to work as Assistant Program Director and afternoon host of The New Hot 103.7 in Seattle in 2014.
In his return, Tanchyk thanked Pamal Broadcasting Director of Operations and Programming Kevin Callahan for the chance to return to his former market.
“Kevin shared his strategic vision for The Cat’s talent line-up and I knew I had to be a part of it,” Tanchyk said. “I’m excited to share that I’m stepping into the prestigious role of the Capital Region’s ‘ringleader of good times and bad decisions,’ weeknights from 10 PM-2 AM. I can’t wait to split the Uber on the ride home from McGeary’s with the 518! Big thanks to Kevin Callahan and Pete Kelly for the opportunity!”
He is not the only former Albany DJ returning to the station. Marissa Lanchak is also joining 100.9/107.1 The Cat as the station’s midday host.
