Country Radio Hall of Famer Dale Carter, a four-decade radio pro, will retain his role as Program Director and morning host across the hall at KFKF (Country 94.1), a position he’s held since 1995.”Dale’s unparalleled experience and passion for country music have been instrumental in KFKF’s success,” said Marc Harrell, Market Manager for Steel City Media Kansas City. “His dual leadership role will foster synergy between our stations, enhancing our reach and resonance with country music fans.” The Q104 PD post has been unfilled since Todd Nixon left in December.

Steve Serrano’s journey with the company began in 2008 as an intern, and rose through the ranks to Program Director of Top 40 KMXV (Mix 93.3). “Steve’s ascent from intern to Operations Manager is a testament to his hard work and versatility,” said Harrell. “His leadership will be pivotal in driving our programming strategy forward.”

Since joining the company in 2004, Ramirez has gained comprehensive experience across all sales facets, including spot sales, NTR, digital, and out-of-home (OOH) advertising. “Cherie’s extensive experience and deep understanding of our market dynamics make her the ideal choice to lead our sales team,” said Harrell. “Her strategic vision will be instrumental in driving revenue growth and client satisfaction.”
