Now Re-Entering Utah: Brandon Young

• After exactly a year in the PD chair at Alpha Media Country KYKX/Tyler-Longview, TX, Brandon Young has returned to Utah, hired by Redrock Broadcasting as PD/Content Director and afternoon personality for Top 40 KURR (Mix 103.1)/St. George, UT. In his not-so-spare time, Young will also do 7-10pm on sister KUTQ (102.3 Coyote Country) and handle Asst. OM duties for the cluster.

Prior to his arrival in Tyler, TX in early 2018, Young was OM of Cherry Creek’s seven-station cluster in Wenatchee, WA and PD of Country KYSN (Kissin’ 97.7) and Hot AC KQBG (99.5 The Bridge). Young is probably best known for his lengthy history in the Salt Lake City market, including a stint as PD/afternoon personality (as “Shotgun Jackson“) on Broadway Media Country KEGA (101.5 The Eagle) and on-air stops at KUBL, KZHT, KKAT, KBEE, KISN and KCPX. He also programmed Leighton Country KYCK/Grand Forks, ND back in the day.

In a Facebook post announcing his new gig, Young said, “Thank you to [OM] Bryan Benware, [Owner/CEO] Craig Hanson and [Consultant] Alan Hague for your faith in me. I look forward to this new and exciting challenge!”
