The Operations Manager for five radio stations serving the Shreveport-Bossier City, La., market has been promoted to Market Manager by Connoisseur Media. This results in a new OM for the quintet of audio brands.
Earning the Market Manager post is Greg Hanson. He’ll oversee KDKS-FM 102.1, KTAL-FM 98.1, KBTT-FM 103.7, KLKL-FM 95.7 and KOKA-AM 980. The stations were formerly owned by Alpha Media and in the past were operated by Chesley Maddox-Dorsey under the Access.1 Communications banner.
“Greg has been a guiding force behind the programming and success of these stations for many years, and his deep connection to the Shreveport community has made him an invaluable leader,” said Jay Richardson, Senior Vice President for the Southwest Region at Connoisseur Media. “Over the past several years, Greg has expanded his expertise beyond programming, developing as a seller, strategist and leader. His experience and understanding of this market make him the right person to lead the team as we continue to grow and evolve.”
With Hanson’s rise, Paul Cannell is now OM. “Paul was a natural fit for this role. He knows radio, he knows this market, and he understands how all the pieces have to work together,” said Hanson. “As I move into the Market Manager role, I’m excited to have someone I trust leading programming and operations and helping us keep moving forward.”
Cannell has worked at radio stations including WKLR in Richmond and KOOJ in Baton Rouge and began his career in Shreveport at KTUX, in 1996. He most recently served as Brand Manager for Audacy-owned WKBU-FM in New Orleans.
