Hunt & Loughran Earn SF PD Stripes
• iHeartMedia promotes from within, naming Dan Hunt as Program Director of KYLD (WiLD 94.9)/San Francisco and Travis Loughran as Program Director of Hot AC clustermate KIOI (Star 101.3), effective May 15. They will succeed Mark Adams, who was recently named PD of Z100/New York.
Hunt (left) earns the Bay Area transfer from Atlanta, where he most recently programmed Top 40 WWPW (Power 96.1) — now Power 105.3 — and was a member of the company’s CHR Brand Team. Hunt earlier programmed the former WRDW/Philadelphia and WWKX/Providence.
Loughran (right) is elevated from his current role as APD of Star 101.3 and WiLD 94.9. His previous experience includes Programming and Creative Production positions at HOT 97/New York, PD of KBMB/Sacramento and APD/MD of iHeartMedia’s KBOS (B95)/Fresno.
Both gentlemen will report to Don Parker, SVP/Programming for iHeartMedia San Francisco, who said, “I’m thrilled to welcome Dan Hunt to WiLD 94.9 and to reward Travis’ hard work and dedication to iHeartMedia San Francisco with this well-deserved promotion to PD of Star 101.3. Both have a long track record of success at iHeartMedia, as well as previous programming positions prior to joining the company. I look forward to their leadership of these two iconic San Francisco brands.”
