Cumulus WKHX/Atlanta PD Mike Moore has exited amid companywide cuts. He joined WKHX in 2019 (CAT 10/7/19) after more than 16 years with then-Entercom/Portland, where he rose to VPP and KWJJ PD. Prior programming posts include WSIX/Nashville, WWYZ/Hartford and WWKA/Orlando. Moore was inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame in 2024. Reach him here.

Other Country talent displaced in the layoffs include KATM/Modesto afternoon host Tony Randall and KSKS/Fresno morning co-host Joe Castelan. Randall joined KATM last year (CAT 11/20/25). Prior to that, while working with his then partner Kris Rochester, Randall did mornings at WIVK/Knoxville for nearly five years, with earlier stops at KSON/San Diego, KUSS/San Diego and national syndication via USRN. Castelan joined KSKS in 2023 as morning co-host with Kris Daniels (CAT 7/21/23), who is now solo in mornings. Before that, Castelan was Dir./Promotions and morning host at KATM, giving him a 10-year total run with Cumulus. Reach Randall here and Castelan here.
