Gentleman George

CUMULUS MEDIA/MOBILE, AL has appointed GENTLEMAN GEORGE as Dir./Programming/Brand Manager. He will oversee Urban WBLX (93 BLX), R&B WDLT (104.1), and will host middays on the Urban station. Most recently he was VP for NATIONAL ARTIST DEVELOPMENT.

GEORGE told SAM WEAVER, “I am beyond ecstatic to be chosen to lead these iconic brands, WBLX and WDLT. It feels great to have the opportunity to return to CUMULUS MEDIA, where I spent over 15 years previously programming multiple stations.

“It was always a dream of mine to work at WBLX, and now my dream has come true. I’m thankful to VP/Urban KENNY SMOOV, VP of Programming Operations DOUG HAMMOND, Regional Operations Manager VINCENT MOJO WILSON, and Vice President of our market DON BOYD. I can’t express how it makes me feel for them to trust me with these two brands.

“I arrived last FALL (2023) in the middle of the 50th-year celebration of WBLX. I’m deeply honored to have been given the leeway to do what we need to do. Fortunately, we’ve had an immediate impact and growth since my arrival. I know God will help me, and we’ll continue to grow.”
