Hamilton To Run KITS/SF & KNRK/Portland
• Audacy has named Mark Hamilton as Brand Manager of Adult Hits KITS (105.3 Dave FM)/San Francisco as well as his former station, KNRK (94.7 Alternative Portland)/Portland, OR, effective immediately. He will continue to serve as Operations Manager of Audacy Portland.
“Since Dave FM launched in October, Mark has successfully led the station’s initial programming charge, and we’re thrilled to officially expand his role as Brand Manager,” said Stacey Kauffman, RVP/Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco and Sacramento.
Hamilton is already intimately acquainted with both properties – he joined the company in November 1988 as APD and midday personality of the former Live 105/San Francisco. In 1995, Hamilton transferred to Portland to program KNRK, a position he held until September 2020. In 2010 he annexed programming duties for sister station KYCH (97.1 Charlie).
Kim Martinez, SVP/Market Manager of Audacy Portland, added, “We’re equally as excited to have Mark return to 94/7 as Brand Manager in Portland and have him implement his leadership and expertise to bolster KNRK. “An obviously enthused Hamilton exclaimed, “I’m so excited for this opportunity in both markets – Let’s go!”
