Rivers Adds PD Stripes For Kiss 95-7/Hartford

• Congrats to Adam Rivers, PD of iHeartMedia Top 40 WKCI (KC101) and Hip-Hop 100.9 The Beat (WKCI-HD2)/New Haven, CT, who has expanded his programming kingdom with the addition of PD stripes for Top 40 cousin WKSS (Kiss 95-7)/Hartford.

In making the announcement of Rivers’ upgrade, Steve Honeycomb, Region President for iHeartMedia Hartford, noted, “Over the past ten years, Adam has done and amazing job programming KC101 while also serving as the APD and music director for Kiss 95-7 and we are excited to see him evolve to Program Director of Kiss 95-7.”

Rivers will report to Joey Brooks, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Connecticut, who remarked, “Kiss 95-7 is legendary and one that is close to my heart as it launched my career. There is no one better than Adam to lead KISS 95-7 into the future.” Rivers will retain his existing PD/midday duties for KC101 and PD of The Beat in New Haven.

Prior to joining KC101 as APD/afternoon talent in 2013, Rivers programmed Top 40 sister WKSI (Kiss 98.3)/Winchester, VA. His earlier radio stops include WILI/Willimantic, CT, WMAS/Springfield, MA and WZRT/Rutland, VT.

“Growing up, these were the two radio stations I spent my time with and it was a faraway dream to even work at one, never mind both as the Program Director!” said Rivers. “Thank you to Joey Brooks, Steve Honeycomb, and Dylan Sprague for constantly helping me improve and grow during my time here, and for this new opportunity.”
