Bob Delmont is back in the airwaves, and this time, he's bringing his expertise to two different stations. After a brief exit from iHeartMedia, Delmont has returned to the airwaves in a dual role, hosting nights at Country 98.7 WMZQ in Washington, DC, and taking back his former midday slot at 93.1 WPOC in Baltimore. This move marks a significant return to his roots, as Delmont spent 27 years at WPOC, primarily in the middays, and two years in the afternoons. His extensive experience also includes tracking for multiple stations across the country, including most of their Classic Country stations, as well as five years in nights at WDSY Pittsburgh and a stint at Oldies turned Country WMTZ Johnstown, PA.
Delmont's enthusiasm for this new chapter is palpable. He expressed his excitement, stating, 'I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working at the mighty 98.7 WMZQ on the shift where it all began for me. I get to come back working with the people that I know, and some I get to know better, all while still being part of WPOC on the same shift I’ve spent almost all of my career. Saying this is a gift is a huge understatement. Thank you to my boss Jeff Kapugi for making this all happen. I’m ready for y’all, D.C.!'. This sentiment reflects his deep connection to the industry and his eagerness to reconnect with his audience.
The return of Delmont to these stations is a significant development in the radio industry. iHeart Regional SVP/Programming Jeff Kapugi praised Delmont's skills, stating, 'Bob’s back! He’s one of the best we have, and we are lucky to have him on our DC/Baltimore team!'. This endorsement highlights Delmont's reputation as a skilled and experienced radio professional. His ability to navigate different roles and connect with audiences across various markets is a testament to his versatility and talent.
Delmont's return to WMZQ and WPOC is not just a personal triumph but also a strategic move for iHeartMedia. By bringing back a veteran like Delmont, the company is reinforcing its commitment to quality programming and building on the success of its existing stations. This move is particularly interesting given the competitive landscape of the radio industry, where talent retention and strategic programming are crucial for success.
In conclusion, Bob Delmont's return to the airwaves is a significant development in the radio industry. His expertise, passion, and connection to the industry make him a valuable asset to iHeartMedia. As he takes on his new roles, Delmont is poised to make a lasting impact on the stations he serves, bringing his unique style and expertise to the airwaves once again.
