Zann Ready To Take On Texas

• iHeartMedia has named company veteran Zann Fredlund as Program Director of Texas Top 40 duo KXXM (96.1 NOW)/San Antonio and KHFI (96.7 Kiss FM)/Austin, effective immediately.

Zann now reports to Jason McCollim, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia San Antonio & Austin, who correctly noted, “This is a huge move for Central Texas! Zann brings a powerhouse mix of experience and innovation that’s set to revolutionize KHFI & KXXM’s presence, both on-air and online. Zann is all about creating top-notch content, guiding exceptional talent, and positioning our stations as the ultimate destination for dynamic music and information. We can’t wait to see her impact.”

Zann earns the big Texas transfer from iHeartMedia Seattle, where she most recently served as APD/afternoon talent at Top 40 KBKS (HITS 106.1). A graduate of Temple University, Zann began her career as Executive Producer of Chio and Shila in the Morning on the former WRDW (Wired 96.5)/Philadelphia. She went on to do afternoon drive at the late WNOW (92.3 Now FM)/New York and middays at former Cumulus Top 40 KLIF (Hot 93.3)/Dallas before arriving in Seattle in May 2018.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to join the incredibly talented and innovative team at iHeartMedia Central Texas,” said Fredlund. “I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Amy Leimbach and Jason McCollim for entrusting me to be part of the vision for iHeartMedia’s heritage CHR brands in San Antonio and Austin. I’d also like to thank my Seattle family who have welcomed me here with open arms. Without the guidance of Maynard, Rich Moore, Mark Glynn and the rest of the team in Seattle, I would not be embarking on this exciting opportunity in 2024.”
