University of Texas AAA 98.9 KUTX Leander/Austin TX has promoted Music Director Rick McNulty to 5-8pm host succeeding the recently retired Jody Denberg.
McNulty has been with KUTX and sister Public News/Talk 90.5 KUT-FM since 2007. He originally hosted the overnight AAA programming on KUT-FM prior to the launch of KUTX in 2013. Since then he has hosted “Left of the Dial” and “Uptown Saturday Night” and was appointed Music Director in 2019. He has also been heard on 88.9 KXLU Los Angeles at 91.7 KOOP Austin.
McNulty said, “These are some large shoes to fill, but I feel like I’ve learned firsthand from the best in the business. As a lifelong radio nerd, I’m pretty excited to be on the air every day at the greatest station in the nation.”
Program Director Matt Reilly added, “I’m very excited to have Rick in this new position. His energy, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge about all kinds of music make him perfectly suited to host this show. I imagine Steely Dan and Prince fans will be extra pleased that Rick has more airtime now too.”
