"Damon Scott is a familiar name that has been on the radio in Connecticut for years. He understands how to connect with listeners and the local community as well as what it takes to be successful in radio."

Added Scott in a statement, "When you leave on a high note after 27 successful years, you need a special plan for your return. I am excited to take the next step by joining Country 92-5 and the iHeartMedia Hartford team."
