Higgins Running SummitMedia Omaha
• SummitMedia has named Kathy Higgins as Market President of the company’s five-station Omaha, NE cluster — Mainstream Rock KEZO (Z92), Classic Rock KKCD (CD105.9), Top 40 KQCH (Channel 94.1), AC KSRZ (Star 104.5) and ESPN affiliate KXSP (AM 950), effective Wednesday, February 13.
The move marks a radio homecoming for Higgins, who has more than two-decades of radio and TV experience and most recently led sales and marketing for an Omaha IT software and consulting firm. “We are very excited to bring Kathy back to lead our Omaha team,” said CEO Carl Parmer. “Her energy, competitiveness and passion will help Omaha fulfill its incredible potential.”
• In a related story, SummitMedia is actively looking for on-air talent and programmers. The company has plans for continued growth and is currently beating the proverbial bushes to locate and hire standout air talent and creative programmers in all formats (Country, Mainstream and Rhythmic Top 40, Urban, Urban AC, Rock and Classic Rock). Of special note is the company’s current search for an on-air PD for Country WCYQ (Q100.3)/Knoxville, TN.
Interested candidates who are attending CRS 2019 this week should be aware that SummitMedia VP of Programming Beverlee Brannigan will also be in attendance and she would love to meet you to chat about current and future opportunities. Hit her up at beverlee.brannigan@summitmediacorp.com.
