Promotion & Retirement @ Entercom Sacramento
“Squintz has been a tremendous asset on KSFM for the last five years,” said Stacey Kauffman, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Sacramento. “His teamwork, attitude and talent are all reasons it’s a pleasure to internally promote him to the well-earned role of Music Director for KSFM.” Prior to joining KSFM, Squintz spent eight years at Cumulus Rhythmic KWIN/Stockton, CA.
“I’m extremely blessed and thankful to be able to continue to do my part to contribute to the success of a station that I have listened to my whole life, as I am embedded in KSFM and the culture here,” Squintz said. “I’m further grateful to my Brand Manager, Michael Buhrman, for seeing the ability and drive in me. And I thank Stacey Kauffman and Operations Manager Joe Calgaro for this tremendous opportunity.”
Thomas (pictured now and then), said, “When I moved to Sacramento 36 years ago, I thought it was a stepping stone to the ‘Big Time.’ Didn’t take long to realize it would become my home. I’m proud to have become a part of this community… served up a rockin’ soundtrack for its residents and in some measure helped to provide a voice for them.” He added, “Radio is about one-to-one connection, and that mission continues, though the tools have changed. When I started, we were cueing up vinyl records on turntables, and editing tape with razor blades on reel-to-reel decks… where’s my grease pencil??
In closing, Thomas said, “It’s been quite a journey, staying in the same place. I’ve met a number of incredible and talented people along the way – too many to mention, and thank…and a *few* weasels as well! Definitely want to give props to my Eagle folks and my fellow staff in the early days of 93 Rock. It’s been a privilege to work beside you and a pleasure to be with Entercom these last 23 years. As I hang up the headphones, I look forward to exploring more of the world outside the studio walls, and listening to 96.9 The Eagle as a civilian now. Oh, and I WILL be sleeping past dark-thirty every day.”
