Bluewater Broadcasting has promoted Emily Hayes, Creative Services Director, to Music Director of Alternative Rock 104.9 The Gump. Hayes started her career in 2008 in Mobile, AL, and joined Bluewater Broadcasting in October 2016 as a night jock on 104.9 The Gump before she became a part of the Three Men and a Lady morning show on News Talk 93.1. She also holds down The Gump’s afternoon drive show and is host of The Gump Local Showcase, featuring all local musicians and their original music.
Hayes said, “The opportunity to help select and shape the sound of WGMP and reflect what our audience is eager to hear is very exciting, and I am grateful for the opportunity and the trust placed in me by Rick Peters and Bluewater Broadcasting. Music is more accessible now than ever thanks to many avenues for artists to release their music. Staying one step ahead and helping expose our listeners to what’s next while mixing in what’s right now is a welcome challenge.”
