Townsquare Country Format Lead Doug Montgomery will retire July 31 after eight years with the company. "I have been extremely blessed to spend my whole adult life getting to do what I dreamed of as a kid: Be the guy who picks the songs on the radio and entertains listeners every day," he says. "From my first overnight shift at WJPD in Ishpeming, Michigan, I knew Country radio was the avenue I wanted to pursue."

Prior to Townsquare, Montgomery spent 20 years with Clear Channel/iHeartMedia as PD for WBCT/Grand Rapids. "We’ve been very fortunate to have him lead our Country team for eight years," says SVP/Content & Programming Kurt Johnson. "His impact in building Townsquare Country’s success will leave a legacy."
