"Tom is truly a maestro who moves and conducts the music on his shows with genuine energy while understanding how each song relates to his listeners' lives," said ABC Radio Networks Senior VP/Programming & Distribution Carl Anderson. "His career has been built on recognizing the needs of the adult audience and engaging them with entertaining content and the music they want to hear."
"With each of our shows, the goal is to create a fun experience for the listener complete with all the classic songs they love plus the banter and listener interaction that ties it all together," added Kent. "We've been able to reach so many people who appreciate the brand of radio we're delivering. With the emergence of new technologies and the growing need for real content, I'm delighted to join forces with the ABC Radio Networks team who will move us to the next level."
