Cumulus Media Chief Content Officer Brian Phillips stated, ?When Charlie Cook told me he was departing, I was faced with one of the tougher decisions of my career: who could I trust to lead and represent our vast fleet of important Country stations with the finesse and character that Charlie did? On every front, Travis rises to the demands. Fresh from a fast, stunning turnaround at KUBL, he has demonstrated the creative and executive skills and style that set him apart from the rest. A new era begins in Nashville.?
Daily remarked: ?Storytelling is at the heart of every great Country song. As VP of Country, you?re not just shaping playlists; you are weaving narratives that resonate with listeners across Cumulus Media?s entire footprint of Country stations. Together with our talented programmers, we?ll harmonize tradition with innovation, ensuring that our stations remain a vibrant part of listeners? lives. It?s an exciting time to be in Country music and, with the advancement of technology, we have almost unlimited ways to deliver content. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead the Country stations for Cumulus from my new hometown of Nashville, where I?ll be working intensively with WKDF and WSM-FM.?
