KFOG/San Francisco Welcomes Mat Bates
Justin Wittmayer, VP/Market Manager for Cumulus San Francisco, said, “Mat Bates is poised to take the Bay Area’s most indelible Rock brand, KFOG, into the future with his unique professional background and successes marrying broadcast radio with digital platforms. He lives the format, is well connected in the Bay Area, and brings a new mindset to KFOG. Mat will work with the KFOG team to bring Rock’s past and future together in a powerful alchemy that listeners and advertisers will respond to in a big way.”
Hang on, he’s still rolling… Bates added, “Lots of gratitude towards Justin Wittmayer, Mike Anthony, Mike McVay, Dave Milner, Troy Hanson and Aaron Roberts for their trust and leadership. It was working with Cumulus on behalf of the Rdio joint venture that made me realize that I never shook the radio bug, so it’s perfect to be coming back with this specific crew.” Bates succeeds Bryan Schock, who recently left the station.
