From the top of Mt. Washington, a Townsquare Media FM reaches much of Maine, all of northern New Hampshire, and practically all of northern Vermont once leaving the greater Burlington area.
It’s a 48kw monster that was the late Norm Alpert’s first property, and is presently airing all-Christmas music. And, it is getting a new morning host and Brand Manager — an individual last with iHeartMedia in Tulsa.
That would be Jadd Naamani, who takes the role at WHOM-FM 94.9, which considers itself a Portland, Maine, radio station despite its huge reach.
“We couldn’t be happier to bring Jadd back to the northern New England airwaves. His energy, dedication to connecting with listeners on-air and online, and long-standing commitment to community make him an incredible addition to the team,” said Christine Sieks, Regional Market President for Townsquare Media.
Naamani took the iHeartMedia/Tulsa role in July 2018, as programmer of KTBT “92.1 The Beat.” Before that, he was Program Director at WERZ (Z107.1)/Portsmouth, N.H. He’d been there since June 2015, when he was upped from Promotions Director. He’s also done weekends at WXKS (Kiss 108)/Boston and WKSS (Kiss 95.7)/Hartford.
“I’m beyond grateful to the entire Townsquare Leadership Team,” said Naamani. “Thanks for bringing me back home to New England to what I feel is the best area in the country. The amount of localism that’s focused on by this company is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Plus, I REALLY missed Maine lobster!”
WHOM was acquired in September 2013 by Townsquare Media as part of a $238 million deal signed off by Lew Dickey Jr., then the head of Cumulus Media.
