As Charlie Cook moves from McVay Media to Cumulus Nashville, Phil Hunt is joining the consulting firm as President. HUNT was formerly Clear Channel SVP and SVP at Rusty Walker Programming. Hunt has worked with CBS Radio's WUSN in Chicago, Clear Channel's WKKT in Charlotte, WSSL in Greenville and KSSN in Little Rock. Also, Summit's WKHK in Richmond.
Hunt said, This is the beginning of a great partnership. Our combined resources will give our present clients unmatched experience and perspective with the programming challenges of 2014. My expertise and my passion are start-ups and turnarounds. I read situations quickly; develop understandable and easy to implement strategies and then guide the local team toward reaching our goals. With CLEAR CHANNEL, and with RUSTY, regardless of the market size, our focus was always on gaining audience share. The same holds true on the digital side with my recent local and national responsibilities.?
Cook said, ?As I leave the consultancy, Doris McVay and I are excited to be able to add Phil to McVay/Cook. He is a respected programmer who will continue the success the company has enjoyed since the mid 80s with Mike McVay?s vision of making stations winners. Phil is cut from the same mold and we know that our clients are going to be thrilled with this move."
