Flores Named PD, KERN-AM & ESPN/Bakersfield
Flores, who was most recently APD of KERN Radio and Producer of The Ralph Bailey Show (TRBS), replaces Michael Hopper, who exited KGEO in July. He will continue as the producer of TRBS.
“JR is a dynamic talent and has demonstrated superior strategic sensibilities guiding KERN Radio for us,” said Bob Lewis, Regional Director of Operations & Programming for AGM Bakersfield & Albuquerque, NM. “Giving PD stripes to JR is well deserved, and adding his skills to ESPN Bakersfield will only make our brands more successful for our listeners and clients.”
Flores remarked, “It’s an honor to be entrusted with leading an iconic brand such as ESPN Bakersfield and continuing the rich history that is KERN Radio. I look forward to providing the community I grew up in with content, news and information they can trust and rely on.”
