On The Record With Cliff Dumas

By Dave Charles

Cliff Dumas is the new owner of the American-based radio group Local First Media with 23 radio stations under his direction.


A bit of a backgrounder.  I met Cliff at 1280 CHAM in Hamilton, where he was developing his on-air talent.  It didn’t take him long to establish his on-air persona and presence.  I knew from the first time we worked together that Cliff Dumas would go on to do many great things in Radio.  We consulted most of the on-air talent for Moffat Radio at the time.

Cliff spent many years in Country Music Radio, getting great ratings and becoming the first Canadian Broadcast to earn CMA and ACM awards in the U.S. and multiple CCMA Awards in Canada.  His keen interests in radio have now transferred to the ownership of Local First Media group in the U.S.

Savannah Jade Hits the Canada Country Airplay Chart With 'More Like It'

The sophomore single from the rising Quebec country singer — one half of the duo Five Roses — arrives at No. 52 on the chart. Kingston's Headstones also debut a new track with City and Colour on Mainstream Rock, "Navigate" at No. 36.

Savannah Jade is belting her way onto the airplay charts this week.

The Quebec singer is maybe best-known as half of the country duo Five Roses, but now she's branching out as a solo singer. Her sophomore single "More Like It" arrives at No. 52 on the Canada Country chart for April 26. It's a barn-burning country-pop track where she sings about what she wants for a date night: no glitz or glamour, just jeans and the local watering hole.
