Jeremy Levy back with you. I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer- I know I am! Here are some more radio and TV updates. The fan 104.3 the fan has elevated Richie Carney as assistant program director of 104.3 the fan and KEPN radio. This happened at the end of June. Richie is the Darren Mackey’s and Tyler Polumbus’ producer. Richie is excited to grow in his new role at the station. Nick Ferguson is no longer with KKFN radio from 6-9 PM.

Ryan Harris is no longer with 92.5 Altitude sports radio. He made the announcement at the end of June on the show Hastings Harris and Dover. The show is now titled Hastings and Dover. Good luck to Ryan with whatever his next plans is.
At the end of May I found out that Dusty Saunders who wrote for the Rocky Mountain news and did a radio show on 710 KNUS in the early 90’s has passed away. He was in his eighties. I had a wonderful time listening to his shows with Joanne Ostro. Max Media has 2 openings for 1015 KJHM and 107.1 KFCO. They are looking for a promotions/ sales director and an on air personality. The on air personality is from 107.1. The sales director position has to be dynamic and energetic leader with a passion for Creating audience content and driving sales sponsorship revenue with the sales team. People need to send their resume, and cover letter to Sean Rhoads at Sean@maxmediadenver.com Or you can send it to Adrien Scott at AScott@maxmediadenver.com.
KKMG radio in Colorado Springs was looking for a new program director as Dylan Saulsberry exits. It hasn’t been announced yet who this is. This might be in a future post.
At the beginning of the summer, I heart media had some furloughs. This means that Greg Foster is no longer the program director of KOA radio 850 A.m. and 94.1 Fm and Freedom 93.7 and 760 radio. Greg started with KOA radio back in 2010. Before that he was in Utah. Also Tim Spence is no longer the program director of 630 KHOW radio. Dave Lauer is furloughed also from 850 KOA radio and the Mandy Connell show. He might be back in the future. Mike Rosen is also furloughed. He also might be back in the future. Robbin Hart also got furloughed from doing news in the mornings for all fm radio stations in the Denver cluster and mid-days at KTCL radio.
KOA radio has secured it’s next program director it is Dave Tepper. Dave was most recently with Altitude sports radio 92.5 and 950 the betting radio station VCIN. There is no word yet who will be programming those stations. Michael Brown said on July 24, that he would love to keep Dragon Redbeard as his producer. He asked listeners to e-mail to a certain e-mail address and tell him why Dragon should still be the Michael Brown’s producer. The last I heard he got 150 responses. I e-mailed the e-mail address saying I was on board with this decision.
The last 2 weeks of July on the George Brauchler show on 710 KNUS radio George hasn’t been there. He is in army training. Jon Caldara has been substituting for him. It is great to hear Jon on 710 KNUS radio. He likes fill in work on the radio. Brady King joins KOAA as sports anchor and news reporter coming from KJTV, and KCBD TV Lubbock Texas. I got this from Mike Mcguff’s blog. The people at KOAA TV are really glad to have Brady on board. Eddie Haskell has left the afternoon DJ position on Max Media’s WGH in Virginia. Eddie used to be program director of KYGO radio and was the program director of the Fort Collins country Town Square media country station. He is taking the summer off before he decides where his next radio stop would be.
Thanks for tuning in.
