Thomas Leaves WNSH: As reportered earlier via Breaking News, Cumulus Corporate PD & WNSH/New York PD Brian Thomas has been named PD for the company's Classic Hits WLS-FM/Chicago. He'll continue as Corporate PD with both Country and Classic Hits responsibilities. "Every kid from Chicago who grew up listening to WLS-FM, as I did, dreams of working there," Thomas says. "I'm proud that the Nash FM weekly audience hit an all-time high of almost 1.2 million and sales pacing +20% in a down market, and I'm excited to continue to work with a handful of our Country stations." Thomas joined Cumulus early last year (CAT 4/28/14) from CBS Radio and can be reached here. Cumulus is now searching for a replacement at WNSH. Hot AC clustermate WPLJ APD John Foxx is handling programming in the interim; he held the position prior to Thomas' arrival (CAT 4/12/13). Reach Foxx here.
