INDIANAPOLIS, IN, June 21, 2021 – Cumulus Media (NASDAQ: CMLS) announces that it has named Zachary Burton as Afternoon Host and Music Director for Indianapolis Top 40 station 99.5 zpl/WZPL-FM.

JR Ammons, Operations Manager, Cumulus Indianapolis, said: “Zach’s been a valued member of our part-time staff for more than two years and I’m happy to say that he has earned this promotion through good old-fashioned hard work and passion. It genuinely makes me happy to see his efforts pay off.”

Zachary Burton commented: “I grew up in Indy and have idolized so many zpl personalities over the years… and now to be working alongside them is completely insane!
