Rick Thomas Joins Max Media Denver
• Max Media Denver is thrilled to announce Rick Thomas as VP of Programming and Operations overseeing all programming, engineering, digital and promotional departments at Rhythmic Oldies KJHM (Jammin’ 101.5) and Rhythmic KFCO (FLO 107.1).
Thomas arrives in Denver from Tampa, where he was most recently Operations Manager for Cox Media Group. His extensive programming portfolio also includes CBS Radio Top 40 WBMP (92.3 AMP Radio)/New York, KRTH (K-Earth 101) & KTWV (94.7 The Wave)/Los Angeles, KYLD (Wild 94.1)/San Francisco, KSFM/Sacramento and XHRM (Magic 92.5)/San Diego, plus three (!) programming tours of duty at XHTZ (Z90.3)/San Diego. That journey also extended to multiple stints in Hawaii, including a four-year run with Ohana Broadcasting.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Rick and his wonderful family to the Mile-High City,” said Jeff Norman, President/General Manager at Max Media Denver. “He is no doubt one of the best programming minds in the country. Having Rick join our team feels like Christmas morning. Rick leads by example and makes everyone around him better. His ability to win in competitive environments will drive our radio stations to the next level of success.”
Thomas commented, “Throughout my career I’ve always had a fascination for helping the underdogs achieve a more dominant role in the marketplace. Jeff Norman and I have known each other since our days in Los Angeles and the time is right to partner on growing these brands together in Denver.” Thomas was officially introduced to his new team today and will be in the building fulltime no later than Monday, September 16. In the meantime he will be working remotely and can be congratulated at Rico@MaxMediaDenver.com.
