Thorn This Way: iHeartMedia WQIK/Jacksonville APD/on-air talent & Dir./Digital Content Brad Thornton has joined Southern Stone WKRO/Daytona Beach as APD/MD. He tells Country Aircheck PD duties will be added at a later date; his last day at WQIK is Oct. 14. "Thank you to those who have taught me everything I’ve learned in the radio world," he shares. "Cindy [Spicer], Robbie [Rose], John [Scott], Jean [Podbielski], [Geewiz] and many more along the way! I grew up listening to this station, and I got to work with everyone I’ve listened to growing up on the radio for the past 11-and-a-half years. It was a pinch me moment everyday." OM Jonathan Wiley (aka DJ Tremble) had been handling programming duties since the exit of Dallas Reese in 2019 (CAT 8/20/19). Reach Thornton here. The search is on for his successor at WQIK; inquiries to Rick Everett here.
