A search for "cumulus dixie chicks" at http://news.google.com turned this up:

http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/sunnews/news/local/5417960.htm
(it does specifically mention that the decision to can the DC at WYAK came 
down from Cumulus HQ in Atlanta.

This article mentions it specifically as well:

However, this article specifically mentions the OPPOSITE, go figure:
http://www.fayettevillenc.com/story.php?Template=news&Story=5536069
"Local adult contemporary station WQSM is sticking with the group and hit 
single ''Landslide.'' The station's corporate office, Cumulus Broadcasting, 
made the decision to continue playing the song on Monday during a 
conference call."
