Cox Media Group San Antonio has found its new Operations Manager in a familiar Texas radio name. Jay Shannon, who held senior programming roles at iHeartMedia across Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, joins the six-station cluster effective May 4.
His 30-plus years of programming experience span CHR, CHR/Rhythmic, Hot AC, Alternative, Urban, and AC formats. Shannon will oversee programming strategy and operations across CMG’s San Antonio stations: 99.5 KISS FM, KONO 101.1, Y100 (KCYY), 106.7 The Eagle (KTKX), Hits 105.3 (KSMG), and Country Legends KKYX (KKYX-AM).
CMG San Antonio VP and Market Manager Mark Shecterle said, “With more than three decades in radio, Jay brings a combination of experience, leadership, and respect across the industry. I am excited to have Jay join CMG San Antonio and work alongside our talented team to help lead our strong group of radio stations.”
