Tulsa's Radio Landscape: A Tale of Shifting Program Directors
The radio scene in Tulsa is buzzing with change! A series of exciting moves are reshaping the city's airwaves, and we're here to break it down for you.
Let's start with the newly formed Zoellner Media Group, which has brought on board the legendary 'Wavy Davy' Michaels as the Program Director for their Classic Rock station, '103.3 The Eagle'. Michaels, a veteran of the industry, is no stranger to Tulsa's airwaves, having spent a significant chunk of his career at 103.3 from 1995 to 2018. His move to Zoellner marks a fresh chapter in his radio journey.
But here's where it gets interesting: Michaels' departure from Griffin Media has sparked a chain reaction. Stepping into his shoes at Griffin is Tabatha Grammer, a radio pro with an impressive resume. Grammer, who has been serving as the Program Director and midday host at KRQV, is now taking on the role of PD/Brand Manager for '92.9 The River'.
And this is the part most people miss: Grammer's move isn't just about a new role; it's about passing the torch. She's been with '106.9 K-Hits' for almost a decade, and her departure creates an exciting opportunity for a new legend to take the 'Legendary K-Hits Chair'.
But wait, there's more! Zoellner Media Group isn't stopping at 'The Eagle'. They're also on the hunt for a Program Director for their Hot AC station, 'Mix 96.5'.
So, what does this all mean for Tulsa's radio listeners? Well, it's an exciting time for sure. With fresh blood and new ideas coming in, the city's airwaves are set to get even more vibrant. But what do you think? Is this a positive shift for Tulsa's radio scene? Or do you have concerns about the impact of these moves? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Let's spark a discussion and keep the radio love alive!
