Mike A Rhinestone Cowboy: As reported earlier via Breaking News, former iHeartMedia/Baltimore SVPP & WPOC PD Mike Preston has been named PD for Cumulus Country duo KPLX & KSCS/Dallas. He succeeds Mac Daniels, who exited last month (CAT 1/21). "Mike has had big success in his career as a creative PD who knows how to coach big time talent," says RVP Dan Bennett. "We can't wait to have him in Dallas to further ignite two of the most listened to Country stations in America." Preston departed amid last month's iHeart restructuring (CAT 1/14), and his prior career stops include KKWF/Seattle, CBS Radio/San Francisco and Seattle and Hot AC WPLJ/New York. Reach Preston here.
