Richmond — Seattle — Sacramento
• Bonneville International promotes from within, naming Jim Richmond as the new SVP/Market Manager for the company’s four-station group in Sacramento — AC KYMX (Mix 96), Hot AC KZZO (NOW 100.5), New Country 105.1 KNCI, and KHTK-AM (Sactown Sports 1140).
Richmond earns the upgrade and transfer from Bonneville Seattle, where he has served as Director of Sales for the past five years.
In making the announcement, Bonneville President/COO Tanya Vea said, “I’m thrilled for Jim to take on this leadership role in Sacramento. This market has a great lineup of stations, a strong digital sales business, and wonderful employees. Jim has shown himself to be an excellent leader, and his background is the perfect fit. I’m confident that he will build on the strengths of the market, developing the business and the culture at Bonneville Sacramento.”
Richmond’s extensive management resume includes six years as General Sales Manager with Entercom San Francisco, Director of Sales for Clear Channel Seattle, GSM for CBS Radio in Denver and Seattle, and four years as Regional VP for New Northwest Broadcasters.
“I’m honored to join the Sacramento team,” Richmond remarked. “These stations have a meaningful connection to the community, and I look forward to supporting our people, growing our digital presence, and serving listeners wherever they are across every platform with purpose and innovation.”
Richmond will formally fill the vacancy created by Steve Cottingim‘s retirement in April. In the interim, the care and feeding of Bonneville Sacto has been handled by Val Maki, SVP/Market Manager of Bonneville San Francisco.
