Matthews Ready To Drive ABQ Home
Matthews previously programmed iHeartMedia Top 40 KAZX & Classic Hits KKFG-FM/Farmington, NM. Earlier OM/PD stops include Hutton Broadcasting in Santa Fe, NM, and he notably enjoyed a prior run with American General Media at KPTE & KDGO/Durango, CO a few years back. Matthews has also been on-air at KIMN and KYGO/Denver.
KIOT PD Sam Newton commented, “We are excited to bring another experienced radio professional into the building and look forward to another long run of success on-air and in the community.”
Matthews said, “‘Get me back to New Mexico!’ was my answer to Sam’s interview, and I am looking forward to reconnecting with a great community and company.” Matthews replaces James Barreras, who retired in December after 30 years in the ABQ market.
