Vasquez Named PD of KFM-BFM

Congrats to Mike Vasquez on his well deserved promotion to the ergonomically advantageous PD chair at Midwest Television-owned Variety Rock KFMB-FM (100.7 KFM-BFM)/San Diego. He will continue to drive you home weekday afternoons from 3-7pm. The KFM-BFM PD position has been vacant since Garett Michaels stepped down in January. [Ed. note: Michaels is still in the building four days a week consulting Alternative sister XTRA (91X)].

Vasquez spent the first 12 years of his radio career at KEZL/Fresno, rising to PD in 1993 and taking the station to No. 1. Five years later, based on that success, Vasquez was offered the PD post at Jefferson-Pilot/Lincoln Financial/Entercom AC KIFM (Easy 98.1)/San Diego, and over the next 17 years led that station to No. 1 in the ratings dozens of times and winning the NAB’s Marconi Award for Station of the Year in 2005.

Surveying his newly expanded domain at KFM-BFM, Vasquez stated, “I’m a little bruised from pinching myself, but I’m wide awake and excited to contribute to our team’s success. The foundation here is incredibly solid and we’ll continue to build upon it to effectively serve our community and clients with a quality product. Elisabeth Kimmel and Alberto Miery Terán are implementing some impressive innovations and I’m grateful that they’re entrusting me to lead 100.7 KFM-BFM.” Vasquez can be congratulated at mvasquez@kfmb.com.
