Fox Named Content Director @ Energy 95.3

• Alpha Media Bakersfield is proud to announce the promotion of Erik Fox from MD/afternoon drive to Content Director of Top 40 KLLY (Energy 95.3).

Fox (pictured) is a 24-year industry veteran who joined previous owner Buckley Broadcasting back in 2000, and was originally on-air at KLLY (then Kelly 95.3) from 2000-2015 and served as APD/MD from 2001-2011. He spent the past five years down the hall doing middays on Rhythmic Oldies sister KKBB (The Groove 99.3).

Market Manager Jeremy Price commented, “Erik Fox has shown himself to be one of the hardest working individuals in this industry that I have ever worked with. His love for the music marks a huge step up for the station. And in the year that he has been MD for Energy; our ratings have risen to levels not seen on that station for over half a decade. Individuals committed to local radio like Erik are rare, and we are blessed to have him on our team and, in this new capacity, are excited to see him continue to dominate in the ratings.”

Fox remarked, “I’m very excited to take the reins of such an amazing station such as Energy 95.3. I’m grateful to Jeremy Price, [SVP of Programming] Phil Becker, [OM] Danny Palacios and the entire Alpha Bakersfield staff for this opportunity to continue the growth that we’ve already seen with this station. I look forward to working with this great team to take Bakersfield by storm!”
