Paul Duckworth only took over as PD of Cumulus-owned news/talk KLIF-AM (570) in Dallas just two months ago, leaving Citadel’s WMAL-AM (630) in Washington, DC. Duckworth tells Radio-Info the decision had nothing to do with KLIF or Cumulus, but everything to do with his health. Duckworth says, “Neither I or the company planned on this happening. I am leaving because of health concerns.” Duckworth, who has spent 37 years in radio working and managing in markets such as Portland’s KPAM-AM (860), Seattle’s KVI-AM (570), Orlando “and other stops”, says, “It’s time to take a step back. Programming radio can be a rigorous activity.” Duckworth will remain on the job until September 30, and Cumulus is actively searching for his replacement.
