Daniels To Dallas:
Cumulus KSJO/San Jose PD Mac Daniels has been named PD for sisters KPLX & KSCS/Dallas, effective Feb. 16. The move is a homecoming for Daniels, who served as KPLX's APD early in his career before stops that included WMZQ/Washington, WYCD/Detroit, KSKS/Fresno and KASE & KVET/Austin.
"The KSCS/KPLX job called for someone with an impressive major market track record in Country and Mac’s accomplishments and experience are just what we need," says VP/MM Dan Bennett. "His experience programming two competitive Country stations in the same market owned by the same company fits perfectly with our situation in Dallas."
"The team assembled in DFW is poised for success in every platform," Daniels says. "I am humbled that Dan Bennett, Mike McVay and Charlie Cook have placed their confidence in me for this role at two of the stations that are key to the success of Cumulus. I couldn’t be happier to be returning to Texas and to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Those who know me are well aware of my undying passion for this market and these specific radio stations."
