Cumulus Media has elevated one of its top market leaders, expanding her responsibilities across Central Indiana. The company announced that Darlene Park has been promoted to Regional Vice President for Central Indiana.
In the new role, Park will oversee stations in Indianapolis, Kokomo and Muncie, adding two country outlets to her existing leadership portfolio.
“Our teams consistently demonstrate exceptional commitment to serving the Central Indiana community,” Park said. “Together, we will continue advancing our strategic priorities while delivering compelling content and meaningful results for our clients.”
Park will continue to guide Cumulus Indianapolis, which includes six stations spanning multiple formats. Those brands include classic hits, rock, country, adult contemporary, CHR and sports talk. Meanwhile, she now adds oversight of WWKI-FM in Kokomo and WMDH-FM in Muncie, both of which program country formats under well-known national branding.
The move reflects continued confidence in Park’s leadership since joining the company in 2023. She has served as Vice President and Market Manager for the Indianapolis cluster during that time. Under her direction, the market has maintained a strong presence across both broadcast and digital platforms.
Before arriving at Cumulus Media, Park built an extensive background in radio sales leadership. She served as Director of Sales for Bonneville International in Denver, overseeing a four-station group. Earlier in her career, she held General Sales Manager roles at Audacy in Denver and iHeartMedia in Chicago.
In addition to her market responsibilities, Park remains active in industry initiatives. She serves on the Sales Advisory Committee for the Radio Advertising Bureau, contributing to broader radio revenue strategies.
Company leadership pointed to Park’s track record as a key reason for the promotion. President of Operations Dave Milner said her ability to build strong teams and deliver results made her a natural fit for the expanded role.
“We are thrilled to promote Darlene to Regional Vice President for Central Indiana, where she will oversee Indianapolis, Kokomo, and Muncie,” said Milner. “Since joining Cumulus Media, Darlene has proven to be a strong leader who builds positive, high-performing cultures. Her ability to inspire teams and drive consistent, impactful results makes her exceptionally well-suited to lead this expanded region.”
