Jacent Jackson New PD of KFOG/SF
• Cumulus Media appointed 20-year Rock programming pro Jacent Jackson as the new Program Director of San Francisco’s legendary Rock station, KFOG 104.5/97.7.
Conveniently for everyone involved, Jackson is already in town, as he most recently programmed Entercom Alternative KITS (Live 105)/San Francisco until January of this year, shortly after the station rebranded as ALT 105.3. Prior to that he programmed WLUM (FM 102.1)/Milwaukee, and was APD/MD for Emmis Alternative WKQX (Q101)/Chicago. Earlier in his career Jackson programmed Active Rock KQXR(100.3 The X)/Boise, ID.
Doug Harvill, VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Media San Francisco, said, “Jacent knows rock music and Jacent knows great radio. He’s a natural choice to lead the programming team at KFOG. I’m pleased he’s joining the Cumulus-San Francisco team.”
Jackson said, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my broadcasting career here in the Bay Area with Cumulus. KFOG has some incredible talent between The Woody Show in mornings and No Name in the afternoons. I can’t wait to join the fun, or as Woody would say it, ‘#joinfun.’ Much, much gratitude to Doug Harvill, Troy Hanson, Mike McVay, Dave Milner and the team at Cumulus for this incredible opportunity.” Jackson succeeds Mat Bates, who left last week.
