Cruise Control:
As reported earlier via Twitter and Facebook, Palm Beach Broadcasting's WIRK/West Palm Beach MD/afternoon personality Sammy Cruise has been upped to PD following the exit of 17-year station vet and OM/PD John O'Connell. The OM position for the three-station cluster has been eliminated. Reach O'Connell here. Cruise joined WIRK three years ago after programming WCTQ/Sarasota. He tells Country Aircheck he'll retain MD responsibilities in addition to his new title. Congratulate him here.
