Concurrently, former Townsquare Top 40 WBNQ/Bloomington, IN PD/morning host Jason Addams has joined the company as Program Coord. for all programming originating from its Nash studios in Nashville.

The company says the three additions come "in preparation for the national launches of America's Morning Show and Nash Nights Live With Shawn Parr next month." "These veteran radio programmers will help us continue building Nash into the premier country music and lifestyle brand across the U.S.," says Cumulus EVP/Co-COO John Dickey.
