In making the announcement of Shaffer’s sweet upgrade, PD Paul Mason said, “Jonathan has demonstrated that he’s ready for this challenge. He’s earned this opportunity and I look forward to working with him as we move forward toward reaching our goals at 104.5 The Zone.” Shaffer commented, “I’m proud and honored to be part of such a talented, committed team at 104.5 The Zone. I’m very excited about this opportunity and am looking forward to contributing to The Zone’s continued success.”
