Cumulus Media announces that it has appointed Andy Winford to Program Director of KAT Country KATM 103.3 FM in Modesto/Stockton, CA.

Winford joins Cumulus Media from Townsquare Media-Yakima, WA, where he was Brand Manager of KIT-AM and KATS-FM. Prior to that, he was Brand Manager for Townsquare Media’s Billings, MT, station group. Winford previously held programming positions including: Program Director of KHBN/91.7 The Bounce in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Program Director for KKBZ-FM and KHIT-FM in Fresno, CA; Director of FM Programming for iHeart Media/Clear Channel in San Luis Obispo, CA; and Program Director of KURQ and KSTT in Modesto, CA.

Bob Berger, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Modesto/Stockton said: “KAT Country has been a great radio station for nearly 25 years. What makes it great is the people that have been and are a part of it today.  Andy Winford will bring us fresh ears and ideas, and I know that he will work to support the great talent we have in place.  I am excited to see KAT Country’s growth in serving our community in the coming years.”

Richard Perry, Operations Manager, Cumulus Media-Modesto/Stockton said: “KAT Country has a long history of ratings dominance, but has only been led by a handful of PD’s. All of them did great things here. I look forward to Andy adding his name to the short list of PD’s who have made KAT Country special."

I'm truly humbled and I can't wait to start collaborating with the fantastic talent that's ruled over Modesto-Stockton for the last decade and become part of KAT Country 103's rich history.”
