Thomas Takes PM Drive @ Indie 102.3
• Colorado Public Radio Triple A KVOQ (Indie 102.3)/Denver has hired music industry pro Jason Thomas as its new afternoon drive host, starting February 5.
“We are thrilled to have Jason join our Indie 102.3 team,” said PD Willobee Carlan. “His background and success in the radio world will be incredible assets to both the station and Colorado’s music scene. He has an obsession for music that is truly contagious, and I can’t wait to see how that translates onto our airwaves.”
Thomas brings with him some two decades of radio experience, including his most recent 12-year stint at Chicago’s iconic Triple A WXRT, where he did afternoons and hosted the station’s weekly new music show, The Big Beat. His resume also includes on-air positions at KZON/Phoenix and KITS/San Francisco.
“The team at Indie 102.3 has been incredibly welcoming, and it’s been eye-opening to see how committed everyone is to Colorado and its music scene,” said Thomas. “I can’t think of a station/city combo that’s a better fit for me, and I’m excited to work and learn alongside a team that’s loaded with true music junkies that want to serve and connect with our listeners.”
Thomas succeeds Jessi Whitten, who has accepted a position with Levitt Pavilion, but will remain on-air in a part-time capacity, shift TBD.
