Get Tack To Where You Once Belonged: Former Emmis WLHK/Indianapolis APD/morning host Joey Tack will join Cumulus WIVK/Knoxville in mornings July 11. He fills the vacancy created by Tuesday's departure of Tony Randall and Kris Rochester (CAT 6/28). “Many of my proudest achievements occurred in Knoxville: marriage, fatherhood and a wonderful 15 years of creating great radio," Tack tells Country Aircheck. Adds PD Rich Bailey, "[Joey] has a relentless desire to be involved in his community and to make a real difference in people’s quality of life, something that sets WIVK apart." It is both a return to the market and reunion with Bailey for Tack, who previously spent 15 years with Summit Rhythmic WKHT, where Bailey served as OM until his departure in 2019. Tack left WLHK at the end of his contract in April (CAT 4/27). He continues to lead the CRS Agenda Committee as Chairman for the 2022-2023 CRS year; reach him here.
