Ashley Allegretto, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, said: “We are elated to have Dave join the Fort Walton Beach team! Dave’s wealth of knowledge, years of experience, and creativity in the Rock format make him a natural fit to lead our heritage Rock station.”

Rossi commented: “There’s spectacular growth in this market and I’m thrilled to work at this incredible radio station. After great conversations with Chris Kellogg, Ashley Allegretto, Troy Hanson and Doug Hamand it became clear that Cumulus was where I needed to be and the opportunity in Fort Walton Beach is a perfect fit. I’m looking forward to leading the team of proven winners at 99ROCK and building on the winning tradition they’ve created!”
