Preston To KPLX & KSCS:
Former iHeartMedia/Baltimore SVPP & WPOC PD Mike Preston has joined Cumulus KPLX & KSCS/Dallas as PD. He succeeds Mac Daniels, who exited last month after four years (CAT 1/21). "These two country brands, each in their own distinctive way, have captured the hearts of DFW country music fans. We believe Mike Preston is the right person to lead our talented teams into the future,” says RVP Dan Bennett. Adds Preston, "Country music is alive and well in Texas and I can’t thank Dan Bennett, Brian Philips and Bruce Gilbert enough for the chance to work with these amazing brands and their teams.” Preston departed amid iHeartMedia restructuring last month (CAT 1/14). Prior stops include KKWF/Seattle, CBS Radio/San Francisco and Seattle and Hot AC WPLJ/New York.
