Arizona Lotus Turns To Pungaew
• Arizona Lotus Corp welcomes marketing and promotions pro Monchai Pungaew to its Tucson leadership team as Director of Marketing and Promotions for Classic Rock KLPX, Alternative KFMA (Rock 102.1), KCMT (La Caliente 92.1/95.7) and KTKT (La Buena 94.3/990AM). Pungaew’s radio journey to-date includes promotions and marketing management roles with Clear Channel and Emmis Communications in Phoenix, Peak Broadcasting and Townsquare Media in Boise, ID and XHTZ (Z90.3)/San Diego back in the day.
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to work in Tucson with some of the most passionate radio folks in the business,” Pungaew commented. “The entrepreneurial vibe here is infectious. I’m super excited about my new home and ready to dig in!” Ken Kwilosz, GM of Arizona Lotus Corp Tucson, said, “Monchai is a great addition to our team. His knowledge of marketing and managing a promotions department is exactly what we need for our future success.”
• And on a related note, we are told to stand by for the announcement of a new morning show debuting soon on KFMA — as we reported earlier this week, former Rock 102.1 morning host Eric “Shmonty” Ashmont and his Producer/sidekick “Beef Vegan” have left the building.
