Cumulus Media is making a leadership change in Melbourne, Florida: Debra Killick will step into the role of Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus Melbourne, FL on January 1, 2026.
Killick is being promoted from General Sales Manager, a position she has held for more than five years, overseeing sales for Cumulus Melbourne’s three radio stations and its digital brands. The move keeps her in the same market where she’s built her recent track record—now with broader responsibility for leading the full local operation.
Before joining Cumulus, Killick worked as a Digital Sales Account Manager for Gannett/USA TODAY Network in Melbourne.
Overall, she brings more than 20 years of media and digital sales experience, including past roles as Local Sales Manager at Sinclair Broadcast Group in Washington, D.C., Vice President of National Sales at Univision in New York, NY, and Local Sales Manager at CBS 4 Television in Boston, MA. She earned a B.S. in Advertising from the University of Florida (Gainesville).
Cumulus leadership points to her client-first approach and results-driven background as key reasons for the promotion, especially as local media continues to evolve. Killick, for her part, says she’s looking forward to working closely with the Melbourne team, building on the momentum of the company’s local brands, and pushing for the strongest possible year in 2026.
Cumulus Media’s Melbourne lineup includes three stations:
107.1 A1A / WAOA-FM (CHR)
102.7 The HitKicker / WHKR-FM (Country)
95.9 The Rocket / WROK-FM (Classic Rock)
