In May 2010, Scott Mullins took over as program director of Triple A format 89.7 WTMD in Baltimore, continuing his long record of increasing the on-air presence of the blues. He began at WFPK in Louisville where he founded and hosted the Saturday Night Blues Party from 1986 to 2006. He also lobbied successfully for inclusion of blues as an integral part of WFPK’s sound when it changed to the then-new Triple A format in 1996. He then moved on to music director at 88.9 WYMS in Milwaukee where he incorporated blues into that station’s unique rock/urban hybrid format. Currently as program director at WTMD, he has enhanced the profile of blues music through increased airplay, live in-studio guests, and station-sponsored concert and event promotions. Mullins was co-founder of the Kentuckiana Blues Society in 1987; co-founder of the Garvin Gate Blues Festival in 1988; produced the Louisville Blues Compilation LP in the early 1990s and the Santa is a Bluesman series of CDs.
