XM-plery Moves: SiriusXM's The Highway morning co-host Macie Banks has moved to middays. She succeeds Ashley Till, who shifts to afternoons on Y2Kountry, where in turn Danielle Peck moves from afternoons to evenings, which had been music intensive. Cody Alan remains solo in mornings on The Highway, but will be joined Sept. 30 by former Apple Music Radio Sr. Content Producer Lauryn Snapp as show producer. The move reunites Alan and Snapp who worked together on CMT After MidNite With Cody Alan and CMT Radio Live With Cody Alan from 2018 to 2022 (CAT 1/18/22).

Banks joined The Highway in mornings (CAT 10/5/21) after time at Cumulus/Atlanta and WNGC/Athens, GA. She also handled middays from April through September last year (CAT 4/4/23) until Alan's arrival, when she focused on mornings and Till took over the shift. In addtion to her time with Apple Music Radio, Snapp continues to host Townsquare's syndicated Hot AC PopCrush Nights.

Warner Music Nashville VP/Artist Development Jamie Younger has joined The Core Records in the same role. "Younger's ability to navigate the evolving music landscape has consistently resulted in history-making projects," say Co-Founders/CEOs Chief Zaruk and Simon Tikhman. Adds Younger, "From the company’s culture to the depth of the roster, it’s a testament to the team’s ability to nurture multi-genre talent.” Younger spent 12 years at WMN, rising to VP in 2022 (CAT 6/23/22). Prior stops include Thirty Tigers and American Songwriter. The Core Records is a co-venture with Universal Music Group (CAT 7/10/23). Over at WMN, the Artist Development team was recently merged and rebranded into the comprehensive Marketing department (CAT 7/17).
